Research summary
AI-generated

Colleen Hughes studies how the aging brain changes both in healthy older adults and in people at risk for Alzheimer's disease. The research combines brain imaging techniques (such as quantitative MRI) with measures of memory, decision-making, and social thinking, often focusing on specific brain structures like the hippocampus and the locus coeruleus and their links to Alzheimer's-related pathology.
