Maya Troyanskaya

Maya Troyanskaya, M.D., is an Associate Professor at Baylor College of Medicine in the H. Ben Taub Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Her research focuses on traumatic brain injury (TBI), cognitive assessment, and neuropsychological outcomes in military populations.

Her work examines the intersection of TBI with psychological conditions like PTSD and depression, utilizing advanced neuroimaging techniques and cognitive assessments. Research interests include blast-related injuries, long-term cognitive outcomes, and neuropsychological assessment validation.

Dr. Troyanskaya's publications demonstrate consistent focus on TBI characterization through neuroimaging biomarkers, cognitive performance patterns, and differential diagnosis approaches. Her work integrates neuropsychology with advanced statistical methods to understand injury mechanisms and recovery trajectories.

• Macrostructural and microstructural brain changes in TBI
• Olfactory and sensory dysfunction post-injury
• Neuropsychological assessment methodologies
• Military-specific injury mechanisms and outcomes

Her research team collaborates nationally through consortia like LIMBIC-CENC and ENIGMA, focusing on large-scale data harmonization and analysis of neurological outcomes in veteran populations.
