Phoenix Launch 2004

In fall of 2004, we were able to launch the Magellan Circle in Phoenix. The event, held at the University Club, proved a prime opportunity to reach out to our supporters in the Phoenix area. Professor Lee Ryan, a psychology professor and the director of the Cognition and Neuroimaging Laboratories, spoke about aging and the brain, especially in relation to Alzheimer's. She talked about her studies comparing the brains of normally functioning individuals with studies of people with serious brain injury, using magnetic resonance imaging and functional MRI. It was exciting to hear about the cutting-edge research being done in our own college that will allow doctors to predict and treat Alzheimer's earlier.
