Words of Strength
Leadership, Collaboration, Empathy
Vision
To reduce the scale and impact of dementia, we need to build international networks, cross disciplinary boundaries, and embrace diversity in science.
Strategy
Sol’s research combines behavioral and neuroimaging methods to improve the characterization of sociocognitive processes in brain health and disease, with a focus on underrepresented populations from Latin America.
Impact
As an Atlantic Fellow, Sol aims to scale-up brain health assessment and dementia detection across Latin American countries using technologies like smartphone apps.
Motivation
Latin America is facing a rapid growth of dementia. Understanding how disparity-related factors impact cognition is critical to develop regionally relevant strategies for the prevention and early detection of dementia.
Education & Experience
Sol was awarded her PhD in Neuroscience from National University of Cordoba in Argentina. During her PhD, she served as Team Leader in Cognitive Neuroimaging at the Cognitive Neuroscience Center of University of San Andres in Argentina. Then, she completed postdoctoral research training at the Latin American Brain Health Institute (BrainLat) in Chile. She has expertise in neuropsychological assessment, MRI/fMRI analysis, and statistical modelling. She has a growing record of publications, including contributions in journals such as Nature Mental Health, Brain, Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, and NeuroImage.
