BEHAVIORAL AND NEUROSCIENCE RESEARCH

Inspired by a Stanford University neuroscience program and her family's experience with dementia, the founder of Creative Hearts conducted a six-month randomized controlled study on adults aged 72–97. Her research on creative interventions and cognitive health earned top honors in Behavioral and Social Science Research and from the San Diego Psychological Association. This work led to an internship at a Neurobiology of Memory Laboratory and a literature review on socioeconomic disparities in Alzheimer’s risk and treatment, mentored by a founding member and neuroscientist at USC ATRI.  Link to article.
