Sharlene D. Newman studies how the brain supports language, reading, and cognition using neuroimaging methods such as functional MRI, alongside a substantial body of work on mental and physical health in rural communities. Recent research spans the neural basis of narrative and language processing, schizophrenia and schizotypal traits, and social and geographic factors affecting health in rural Alabama, particularly among Black populations. The work bridges cognitive neuroscience and community/public-health research.
