She began working at the Douglas Institute in 2005 as Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry. In 2007, she received a New Investigator Salary Award from the CIHR Institute of Aging and was promoted in 2011 to the position of Director of the new Brain Imaging Center at the Douglas Institute. Natasha Rajah's research focuses on brain imaging studies in cognitive neuroscience of aging and memory. In particular, she uses multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to study how changes in the activity and volume of certain brain regions affect the functioning of neural networks that are important in episodic memory. To this end, it uses multivariate statistical methods to directly investigate the triple interaction between memory performance, brain volume and activity of certain regions of the brain, and neural network activation in healthy young subjects. middle aged and older.
