Jenna L. Merenstein, Ph.D. | Principal Investigator

Google Scholar | Curriculum Vitae

I obtained a B.S. in Psychology from Colorado State University and Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience from the University of California, Riverside. Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at Duke University Medical Center, funded by an F32 National Research Service Award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA). Starting July 2025, I will be an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Utah. My laboratory will investigate the neurobiological substrates of healthy neurocognitive aging and how they differ from Alzheimer's disease, as well as potential modifying factors of brain aging (e.g., environmental risk factors, genetics, cardiovascular health). I take a multifaceted imaging approach, combining advanced MRI analyses of brain structure and function (e.g., graph theory) with experimental analyses of various cognitive domains (e.g., learning, memory, and visual attention).
