Research projects
Alcohol and cognitive impairment
The project, which is a planned PhD project, aims to investigate the role of alcohol abuse in the development of cognitive impairment and dementia.
Frontal lobe dementia
In this project, people with frontal lobe dementia are investigated with MRI based imaging. Partly, empathy is studied with a particular paradigm and fMRI technique, partly examining the brain's morphology and cortical thickness as well as atrophy in specific, relevant regions studied in people with frontal lobe dementia, Alzheimer's and control subjects. This project is part of the larger Swedish FTD initiative, a consortium with participants from KI, KTH as well as the Science Life lab.
