Epidemiology of Brain Resilience to Aging
University of Pittsburgh eBRAIN Group
The eBRAIN research group coordinates and analyzes studies that focus on the interplay between brain integrity and function in a variety of neuroepidemiological studies. We apply brain imaging methods in population studies, study risk factors, utilize cognitive and mobility measures, characterize central & peripheral contributors to function.
Through her research and volunteering, Rebecca Ehrenkranz is hoping to aid those around her
