Research Focus
Dr. Zachariah Meadows Reagh's research lab at Washington University focuses on understanding how aging, particularly in individuals at risk for Alzheimer's disease, affects memory. The lab explores the nuances of episodic memory, including how different features of memories are impacted by aging, and how these changes relate to brain network dysfunction. Through innovative behavioral tests and advanced imaging techniques, the lab aims to make significant contributions to our understanding of memory decline and to inform future clinical assessments and treatments.
