Carla Abdelnour
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
BioOriginally from Caracas, Venezuela, Dr. Carla Abdelnour received her medical degree at the Central University of Venezuela, and then completed her neurology residency training at the University Hospital Príncipe de Asturias in Madrid, Spain. She conducted her doctorate in Medicine at the Autonomous University of Barcelona working with Drs. Dag Aarsland, Javier Pagonabarraga and Jaime Kulisevsky. Her thesis focused on the influence of Alzheimer´s disease copathology in atrophy patterns, longitudinal cognitive decline, and heterogeneity of patients with dementia with Lewy bodies.
Carla´s main interest is the study of neurodegenerative diseases, especially Lewy body disease. As a Sue Berghoff LBD Research Fellow, her plan is to investigate the impact of different comorbidities in the clinical presentation, cognitive profile, and disease progression of Lewy body disease. Additionally, she wants to study the biological underpinnings of prodromal Lewy body disease to identify potential biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis. -

Rachel Crockett
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
BioRachel completed her BSc in Psychology and MSc in Brain Imaging and Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Birmingham, UK. She then completed her PhD in Rehabilitation Sciences at the University of British Columbia, Canada under the supervision of Dr. Teresa Liu-Ambrose. Her PhD work utilised lesion network mapping to investigate the functional networks disrupted by cerebral small vessel disease, its relationships with cognitive and mobility impairment, and the use of resistance training to target disease progression. She is now a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Human Motor Control and Neuromodulation Lab under the supervision of Dr. Helen Bronte-Stewart. In this role, Rachel will use diverse neuroimaging methodologies to evaluate neural targets for deep brain stimulation to treat cognitive impairment in people with Parkinson’s Disease.
