Research grant investigating memory and vision interactions in early Alzheimer's Disease and healthy aging to improve early diagnosis and rehabilitation.
Description
This project investigates memory-vision interactions in early Alzheimer's Disease (amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment, aMCI) and healthy aging, focusing on memory for visual stimuli which declines in AD. The study involves 3 fMRI studies with groups of aMCI, older adults, and younger adults, examining the quality of memory representations, especially visual vs. semantic features, aiming to improve early diagnosis methods and memory rehabilitation strategies.
