The National Institutes of Health has awarded a $3.4 million grant to a University of Arizona researcher studying memory loss and cognitive impairment prevention.

Ying-hui Chou is studying how memory loss can accelerate and lead to irreversible brain function and how to prevent that from happening.

Chou is director of the Brain Imaging and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Laboratory and assistant professor of cognition and neural systems in UArizona’s psychology department.

She also is an affiliate faculty member in the Evelyn F. McKnight Brain Institute and a member of the BIO5 Institute.
