Research Focus
Dr. Eliza Bliss-Moreau's lab at UC Davis focuses on understanding the effects of aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD) by studying nonhuman primates. The lab develops tools to measure cognitive and emotional health in these animals, exploring how changes in the brain affect memory and emotion. Their research aims to improve early detection of cognitive decline and advance potential treatments for age-related diseases.
