Fitness, Aging, Stress & TBI Exposure Repository (FASTER)Purpose
The purpose this study is to examine how individual differences in health changes (muscle strength, blood pressure) and behavioral changes (sleep, physical activity) impact memory, attention, and the brain. We study these relationships in among a variety of older adults, including those with a history of concussion, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The long-term goal of this project is to identify modifiable factors that exacerbate or protect from age-related cognitive decline.
