Chiaravalloti receives grant to study cognition and hemodynamics after spinal cord injury

(Kessler Foundation) This grant will enable Dr. Chiaravalloti's group to extend their research into the relationship between cardiovascular and cerebrovascular dysfunction and poorer cognitive performance in persons with spinal cord injury. 'Our research shows that deficits in learning and memory are prevalent in this population,' noted Dr. Chiaravalloti. 'Understanding how cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and cognitive function change over time in this population will help us develop ways to prevent or minimize the impact of these functional deficits.'
