research is determining the factors that influence visual cognition
in normal aging and age-related neurological disease. Dr. Cronin-Golomb,
her students and research associates investigate perception and cognition
in normal aging and a variety of neurological populations, with a
special emphasis on Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease. |

The Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders
The Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders
at Boston University began in August 1996 as a clinical research and
training site, primarily for students in the Department of Psychology.
The Center is one of the largest of its kind in North America and
maintains international recognition for its specialized work in the
area of anxiety and related disorders. In the pursuit of its teaching
and research mission, CARD offers clinical services to patients referred
from the community suffering from anxiety and related disorders (e.g.,
depression, eating disorders, and related somatoform and personality
disorders). All of these services are either provided by, or directly
supervised by, licensed mental health professionals with recognized
expertise in treating these disorders. The research mission of CARD
is to improve existing treatments or develop new treatments for these
chronic disorders and to conduct more basic research into the nature
of anxiety, depression, and related emotional disorders. This work
is supported by well over $1,000,000 annually from federal funding
sources. Current programs focus on the assessment and treatment of
children and adolescents experiencing anxiety and panic attacks, long
term strategies for treatment of panic disorder, and innovative Virtual
Reality treatments for specific phobias. Many other programs, most
of them funded by external sources, are also ongoing. |
