Dr. Rebecca Ehrenkranz published to the Journal of Experimental Gerontology

We are thrilled to congratulate our very own Rebecca Ehrenkranz, PhD, MPH on her latest publication in the Journal of Experimental Gerontology! 🌟 This study brings to light the distinct patterns of brain activity associated with energy and fatigue in older adults. Dr. Ehrenkranz kindly provided a summary overview of the study, below:
