Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Aziza Byron-Alhassan"
- Aziza Byron-Alhassan's research primarily focuses on the cognitive effects of significant health events, such as out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) and prenatal substance exposure, particularly concerning executive functioning and neurological outcomes in survivors and affected populations
- Recent studies reveal that OHCA survivors often experience notable cognitive impairments related to brain gray matter volumes, especially in comparison to myocardial infarction patients, indicating the severe impact of hypoxia/ischemia on cognitive health
- Additionally, Byron-Alhassan has explored the long-term neural consequences of low-level alcohol use and prenatal marijuana exposure, highlighting their implications for executive functioning in young adults, thus emphasizing the importance of understanding brain development in relation to substance use*.
