Research Focus
Dr. Carson J. Ingo's lab at Northwestern University focuses on understanding how changes in white matter in the brain affect cognitive function after a stroke, particularly in older adults and underserved populations. The lab uses advanced imaging techniques to examine the relationships between brain structure and cognitive outcomes, aiming to identify new ways to improve recovery and treatment strategies for stroke-related cognitive impairments.
