The Road to Recovery Among Cancer Patients: The Role of Resiliency and Neuroendocrine Profiles
–
Directing a long-term study on the link between psychosocial factors and increasing cancer risks that could be mediated by cellular immune response, Dr. Massimo Bardi works with oncologists, geneticists, psychologists and neuroscientists to test the hypothesis that a more adaptive neuroendocrine physiological profile could be positively associated with a better cancer prognosis. Their main goal is to identify innovative and cost-effective methods to stimulate biopsychosocial enhancements in cancer patients to improve quality of life and reduce tremendous costs.
Studying the Brain Basis of Age- and Disease-Related Cognitive Changes With fMRI
–
Bart Rypma, PhD, leads research aimed at exploring the cognitive and neurobiological mechanisms of human memory and how these are affected by aging and disease, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to observe the activity of younger and older adults as they perform cognitive tasks. He has published extensively on the cognitive and neurobiological mechanisms of human memory, including high-profile publications in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, Nature Neuroscience, Cerebral Cortex and Neuroimage.
Hyperefficient: Optimize Your Brain to Transform the Way You Work
–
A physician, cognitive neuroscientist and author, Mithu Storoni, MD, PhD, advocates for a new way of working in our technology-dominated workplace – leveraging the power of the brain to get more done in 30 days than most accomplish in a year. Her hyperefficient approach has been seen in TEDx talks and popular media like The Harvard Idea Podcast.
Visualizing Molecular Events in the Brain with Hemogenetic MRI
–
As director of the Li neuroimaging Lab (LNAB), Dr. Nan Li aims to develop novel whole-brain MRI imaging methods to integrate molecular and system neuroscience while solving brain science problems in health and diseases. She hopes that ultimately her work will broaden our capacity of functional brain imaging to better understand the fundamental mechanisms and develop treatments for better brain health.
Brain Health Starts with Brain Care: A Scalable Solution to the Pandemic of Age-Related Brain Disease
–
In this talk, Jonathan Rosand, MD, MSc, shares how the Global Brain Care Coalition (GBCC) partners with communities to bring personalized, compassionate, science-grounded approach to people everywhere. The Global Brain Care Coalition (GBCC) is an international learning health care system grounded in providing people with the knowledge and tools to take action in caring for their brains — its mission is to make proactive, evidence-based brain care simple and accessible to communities worldwide to promote brain health and prevent disease.
Clinical Psychology and Executive Function
–
Talk description coming soon. Stacie Warren, PhD, researches topics including clinical psychology, neuropsychology, psychopathology, executive function, emotion regulation, cognitive and affective neuroscience, cognitive training and computational modeling.
