Professor Simon Cox is a leading academic in brain and cognitive ageing at the University of Edinburgh's School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences. As a Sir Henry Dale Fellow and Director of the Lothian Birth Cohort Studies, he investigates lifecourse determinants of brain structure and cognitive differences using multi-cohort neuroimaging and genomic data.
