Description
Stress and sex hormones are associated with cognitive changes throughout life. This project will explore sex and stress hormones in association with mild cognitive impairment using traditional neuropsychological tasks as well as eye movements to clearly charactise cognition. The role of stress and sex hormones will be assessed clinically (through questionnaires about past trauma and stress as well as endocrine history) with scope for biological testing of hormones levels at a PhD level.
