Welcome to the Imaging, Aging and Dementia Lab

The Pa lab is an academic research lab at the University of Southern California, part of the Laboratory of Neuroimaging (LONI) at the Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging Institute in the Keck School of Medicine. Directed by Dr. Judy Pa, our research examines early structural and functional changes in executive and memory brain networks in older adults and individuals at risk for Alzheimer’s disease. Using a combination of cognitive, behavioral, and neuroimaging techniques, our primary goal is to identify the earliest signs of cognitive decline.
