Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Emily R White"
- Emily R White's research primarily focuses on the neurobiological effects of brain injuries and developmental exposures, particularly examining how these factors impact brain function and synaptic plasticity across different age groups and genders.
- Studies, such as the investigation into mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and its long-lasting effects on synaptic plasticity in juvenile females, highlight the vulnerability of the developing brain and suggest potential sex-based differences in outcomes following injury.
- White's work also delves into the consequences of prenatal ethanol exposure, revealing significant impairments in cognitive function and memory processing linked to structural and functional changes in the hippocampus, establishing a connection between early environmental factors and later brain health.
