Drs. Dawn Bowers and Adam Woods lead multi-institutional study exposing older adults at risk of developing Alzheimer’s to near-infrared light.
Collaborators from the Fixel Institute and MBI will pilot a novel, low-cost intervention to improve Parkinson’s symptoms.
Newly renovated high-tech labs supporting cognitive aging and human MRI-based research are now up and running at the MBI.
Adam Woods, Ph.D., an assistant professor and assistant program director for UF’s Center for Cognitive Aging and Memory in the MBI, discusses his research using cutting-edge neuroscience methods to investigate the cognitive aging process.
Cognitive aging is a natural process in which older adults typically experience decline in many functions, such as memory, that can negatively impact their quality of life. With healthier lifestyles and advances in medical science, the human lifespan has almost doubled in the past century. However, improvements…
