Greater Apathy Associated With Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor Use in Parkinson's Disease.
Journal of geriatric psychiatry and neurology
鈥�Current research focuses on psychophysiological and behavioral signatures of cognitive/emotional change associated with normal aging and聽 Parkinson disease聽 and novel treatment approaches for apathy and executive dysfunction.聽 Her laboratory uses a variety of different tools to investigate hypothesis driven research ranging from transcranial magnetic stimulation, psychophysiology/electrophysiology (ERP), face digitizing, computational modeling, to experimental cognitive probes.聽聽
