- Research Axis: Clinical and Cognitive Neuroscience
- Keywords: Aging, Alzheimer's disease, Mild cognitive impairment, Subjective cognitive decline, Neuropsychology, Prevention
Dr. Hudon’s research utilizes neuropsychological assessments and MRI to identify early markers of Alzheimer’s disease. She also investigates the role of depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances in predicting cognitive decline. Her team develops interventions like physical activity, mindfulness, and cognitive training to delay disease progression.
Recent publications emphasize normative data for cognitive tests (e.g., Modified Location Learning Test, Famous People Fluency Test) and their application in aging populations. Key trends include cross-cultural validation of screening tools, brain imaging biomarkers, and multimodal interventions for cognitive health.
- Scientific Awards: Brenda Milner award (2022), Rémi W. Bouchard award, Salary awards from FRQS (2006-2017), Honored researcher at ULaval (2013), CPS Certificate (2003)
Dr. Hudon’s lab trains students at all levels, including Ph.D., Master’s, and D.Psy candidates. Her research is funded by CIHR, Alzheimer Society of Canada, FRQS, Réseau québécois de recherche sur le vieillissement, and the Canadian Foundation for Innovation.
