Dr. Leritz completed her PhD in Clinical Psychology, with a concentration in Neuropsychology, in 2004 at the University of Florida. Her current research, supported by an R01 from the NINDS, is focused on understanding how cerebrovascular risk factors contribute to age-related neurodegeneration as well as cognitive and functional decline. She uses structural and functional MRI to examine how risk factors in midlife can influence the neural aging process. An additional focus of her work is in examining how risk factors interact with TBI and PTSD in returning veterans.
