Lucas Broster

Professor Lucas Broster is collaborating on research in cognitive neuroscience at the Psychology University of California-San Francisco. As an Assistant Clinical Professor in Psychiatry at the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences, School of Medicine, Dr. Broster's work is at the forefront of understanding cognitive function, particularly in the context of mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Broster's research delves into the intricate neural mechanisms that underlie decision-making, memory processes, and emotional responses. He employs advanced electrophysiological techniques to examine brain activities, providing insights into how these cognitive functions are affected in individuals with cognitive impairments. His studies have been instrumental in shedding light on the complexities of cognitive disorders and exploring potential interventions. With a strong focus on memory processes, Dr. Broster's work aims to unravel the intricacies of how memories are formed, stored, and retrieved, especially in populations vulnerable to cognitive decline. His research not only enhances our understanding of cognitive impairments but also contributes to developing strategies that could mitigate the effects of such disorders. Dr. Broster has published numerous studies that have significantly advanced the field of cognitive neuroscience. His contributions are recognized for their depth and innovation, offering new perspectives on how cognitive functions can be preserved or restored in individuals facing cognitive challenges. In addition to his research, Dr. Broster is dedicated to mentoring the next generation of neuroscientists. He actively engages with students and colleagues, fostering an environment of collaboration and intellectual curiosity. His commitment to education and research excellence makes him a valued member of the academic community at UCSF.
