Anne Berry

Anne Berry is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Brandeis University, specializing in the interplay between neuromodulator systems and high-level cognition across youth and aging. Her work integrates behavioral analysis with advanced neuroimaging techniques including PET and fMRI.

• Ph.D., University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
• B.A., Oberlin College

Research Interests: Dr. Berry's scholarship focuses on understanding how dopaminergic, serotonergic, and cholinergic systems influence cognitive flexibility, memory, and resilience to neuropathology. Her studies explore the neurochemical basis of aging, Alzheimer’s disease mechanisms, and individual differences in cognitive performance.

Publication Trends: Recent articles examine Alzheimer’s pathology, dopamine/tau interactions, locus coeruleus dynamics, and aging-related cognitive changes. Keywords span Neuroscience, Cognitive Psychology, and Neuroimaging, with subfields including Monoaminergic Systems, Neurodegeneration, and Functional Connectivity.

Laboratory: Dr. Berry leads the Neurochemistry and Cognition Lab, which bridges neurochemical mechanisms with cognitive neuroscience through translational research.
