Courtney Horwitz is a 7th-year doctoral student in the Brain, Behavior, & Cognition program at B.U. She is currently designing a study looking for different encoding patterns in healthy adults and those with anxiety-related disorders. For this study she is collaborating with B.U.'s Center for Anxiety-Related Disorders (Director: David Barlow, Ph.D.).
Karin Schon, Dipl.-Psych. (kschon@bu.edu)
Karin Schon is a 6th-year Ph.D. candidate in the Brain, Behavior & Cognition program at B.U. In collaboration with Prof. Mike Hasselmo, Dr. Atri, Matt LoPresti, and Marisa Tricarico, she is currently finishing up an fMRI study on cholinergic modulation of delayed matching to sample performance in healthy young adults. In addition, she is in the process of writing her dissertation.
Sule Tinaz, M.D. (atinaz@bu.edu)
Sule Tinaz is a 4th-year doctoral student in BU's Program in Neuroscience. She is currently finishing up an fMRI study looking at semantic event sequencing in patients with Parkinson's Disease while investigating structural changes associated with P.D.
Rebecca Melrose, M.A. (rmelrose@bu.edu)
Rebecca is a 4th-year doctoral student in the Clinical Psychology program at B.U. She is interested in investigating structural and functional changes associated with HIV dementia.
Mimi (Jessica) Boer, M.A. (mboer@bu.edu)
Mimi is a 3rd-year in the Neuropsychology track of the Clinical Psychology doctoral program at B.U. She is currently using functional MRI and neuropsychological tests to investigate the cognitive and neuronal changes associated with HIV, specifically in the realms of memory encoding and attention. Mimi is currently receiving clinical Neuropsychology training at the Behavioral Neurology unit in Brigham & Women's Hospital.
Maureen Glessner Courtney, M.A. (reen@bu.edu)
Maureen is a 2nd-year doctoral student in the Brain, Behavior, and Cognition program at B.U. She is currently finishing a study investigating the cortical changes associated with early HIV infection using structural MRI; she continues to study white matter changes associated with the disease via Diffusion Tensor Imaging.
Matt LoPresti, M.A. (mattlo@bu.edu)
Matt is a 2nd-year doctoral student in BU's Program in Neuroscience. His primary interest is in the effects of behavioral therapy on the neural structures involved in emotional processing and the role of the amygdala and prefrontal cortex in the experience and evaluation of emotions. He is also working with Karin Schon and Dr. Ali Atri on behaviroal and fMRI studies of the effects of cholinergic modulation on memory processes.
