Roya Homayouni
Bio Sketch
Dr. Homayouni studies structural brain development across the lifespan and how it gives rise to cognitive functioning across age. She is particularly interested in the age trajectories of hippocampal subfields and the sources of individual differences in the developmental changes. Her overarching goal is to identify the risk and protective factors - both proximal and distal - for the benefit of healthy child development and aging.
