Overview

Lee Ryan is affiliated with the University of Arizona in the United States and specializes in research spanning medicine and neuroscience. Their research covers a range of subfields including cognitive neuroscience, psychiatry and mental health, rehabilitation, health toxicology and mutagenesis, and general health professions. The focus of their work centers on dementia and cognitive impairment, functional brain connectivity, stroke rehabilitation and recovery, health and environmental factors related to cognitive aging, identity and memory therapy, as well as memory processes and influences.

Lee Ryan has contributed to several recent publications which highlight different aspects of cognitive function, aging, and brain health. Notable papers include:

  • Smoking is associated with impaired verbal learning and memory performance in women more than men, 2021, Scientific Reports
  • Two separate, large cohorts reveal potential modifiers of age-associated variation in visual reaction time performance, 2021, npj Aging and Mechanisms of Disease
  • More than just risk for Alzheimer's disease: APOE ε4's impact on the aging brain, 2023, Trends in Neurosciences
  • Music Performance Anxiety: Can Expressive Writing Intervention Help?, 2020, Frontiers in Psychology
  • Past and future episodic detail retrieval is reduced among clinically normal older adults at higher genetic risk for late-onset Alzheimer's disease, 2022, Neuropsychology

Their work has been published in various academic venues, with frequent contributions to bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory). Other prominent journals publishing their research include Gerontology, Trends in Neurosciences, Scientific Reports, and npj Aging and Mechanisms of Disease.

Collaboration is a significant aspect of Lee Ryan's research, with frequent coauthors including Matthew J. Huentelman, Matt De Both, Megan Johnson, Joshua S. Talboom, and Siobhan M. Hoscheidt.
