Feintuch and her mentor, Professor of Psychology Amy Overman, are using eye tracking technology to study memory difference among people with autistic traits.

Murphy found lifelong friends through the Odyssey Scholars Program and the opportunity to study abroad because of donor generosity that helped him cover the costs of his education and travels.

Why does dementia affect some populations more than others? Life experiences, chronic stressors and lack of health equity may be key to understanding, neuroscientist Indira Turney said during a Voices of Discovery lecture Monday.

Turney, a postdoctoral neuroscientist at the Taub Institute for Research on Alzheimer’s Disease and the Aging Brain at Columbia University Medical Center, speaks as part of the 2022-23 Speaker Series and the Voices of Discovery Science Speaker Series.

Hupfeld was recently named to the 2023 Forbes 30 Under 30 for Science due to her work using an MRI scanner to measure brain chemicals as an alternative to intensive brain biopsies.

Professor of Psychology Amy Overman accompanied undergraduate researchers in her neuroscience lab to the Psychonomic Society Conference in Boston, connecting them with recent Elon graduates and leading scientists in the field.

The professor of psychology and assistant dean of Elon College, the College of Arts and Sciences, recently co-authored three peer-reviewed scientific journal articles that were supported by her funding from the National Institutes of Health.

Overman will help to set the agenda for the Society's 30th anniversary meeting in San Francisco next year.
