Denise C. Park, Ph.D., is the head of the Aging Mind Lab,[1] the Principal Investigator of the Dallas Lifespan Brain Study (DLBS),[2] and a Distinguished University Chair of the School and Behavioral and Brain Sciences at The University of Texas at Dallas.[3] Currently, the Aging Mind Lab is researching how aging affects brain structure and function, the earliest possible detection of Alzheimer's disease, and how to intervene to slow the brain's decline.[1] Two preliminary findings of the DLBS include that a busy lifestyle may be linked to improved brain function in old age, especially regarding working memory, vocabulary, and reasoning; and that amyloid buildup decreases recall and recognition memory independent from the age group of the subject.[1][4]
