The Geddes Lab for Motivational Neuromedicine
Our Lab is a highly translational cognitive neuroscience research program at the Neuro and McGill focused on understanding the neurobiological mechanisms underlying motivational resilience and vulnerability in aging and Alzheimer’s disease.
- We apply these findings to help older adults lead healthier and more fulfilling lives.
- Our research combines cutting-edge behavioral and multi-modal neuroimaging techniques including machine learning methods.
- In addition, we design and lead innovative behavioral clinical trials with the goal of enhancing healthy lifestyle engagement in aging to prevent dementia.
