Short description of research profile

Members of our division conduct a broad range of neuropsychology research that aims at investigating the brain-behavior relationship. In particular, we run projects that look into emotional and cognitive changes in individuals with neurodegenerative diseases (e.g. Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, Parkinson's disease), chronic somatic conditions (e.g., end-stage renal disease, hypertension) and stroke. Also, by using both classic psychological measures, behavioral experiments as well as neuroimaging, we investigate both cognitive and emotional changes associated with aging. Additionally, some members of our research group are interested in developmental neuropsychology and neuropsychology of music.
