Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Caroline H Parkinson"
- Caroline H Parkinson's research primarily focuses on cognitive rehabilitation and its impact on neurological processes, particularly in populations with Alzheimer's disease, indicating that cognitive interventions can facilitate new learning even in degenerative states.
- Her studies have employed advanced neuroimaging techniques, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), to examine how cognitive rehabilitation alters memory-related brain activity in early-stage Alzheimer's patients, providing insights into the neural plasticity of the aging brain.
- Additionally, Parkinson's work explores the neural mechanisms underlying decision-making and evaluation processes, investigating how context, hunger, and motivational factors influence choice and the role of specific brain regions like the amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex in these processes.
