Welcome to the Hillman-Kramer Lab!

We investigate the effects of lifestyle choices and behaviors (e.g., physical activity, dietary choices, intellectual engagement, social interaction) and physiological indices of health (e.g., fitness adiposity, sleep, stress) on brain structure and function, cognition, and mental health. From a neuroscience perspective, our interests lie in understanding how health and lifestyle factors influence brain and behavior as it relates to increased health and effective functioning for individuals across the lifespan
