Carrie Racine

Graduate Student, Deanna Barch, Assistant Adjunct Professor of Neurological Surgery and Radiation Oncology University of California, San Francisco

Carrie is a graduate student in Clinical Neuropsychology & Aging working with Dr. Deanna Barch. In her research, she is interested in the effects of normal aging on cognitive abilities typically associated with the prefrontal cortex. More specifically, she is examining the role of strategic processing in older adults’ performance on tasks of memory and decision making. She is also interested in using fMRI to explore whether alterations in prefrontal function lead to widespread changes in the functional cortical networks of the aging brain.
