Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Jennifer L. Gess investigates cognitive function and neural network engagement, particularly in individuals with epilepsy and older adults. Her research employs functional neuroimaging techniques to evaluate the construct validity of cognitive tasks and understand brain network activity during cognitive processes. Gess has studied the effects of fetal antiepileptic drug exposure and the impact of age of onset and medication on cognitive performance and quality of life in patients with epilepsy. Her work also includes analyzing cognitive impairment in older adults using error analysis on tasks like the Judgement of Line Orientation. Gess is a Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, where she collaborates with colleagues on research publications. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 7 and 14 total publications with 249 citations.
