Dr. Uncapher leads the educational neuroscience efforts of UCSF's cognitive neuroscience division. She directs a multi-institutional edneuro network, sponsored by a grant from National Science Foundation (NSF), to bring together researchers at Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UCSF to investigate how executive functioning (e.g., attention, cognitive control, working memory) contributes to academic achievement in middle childhood (ages 7-12). Her co-principal investigators are Dr. Adam Gazzaley (UCSF), Dr. Silvia Bunge (UC Berkeley), Dr. Bruce McCandless (Stanford), Dr. Fumiko Hoeft (UCSF), Dr. Jyoti Mishra (UCSF), Dr. Joaquin Anguerra (UCSF), and Dr. Miriam Rosenberg-Lee (Stanford and IAN advisory board member).
The network's research program was launched today in a pilot study of 80 children (3rd, 5th, and 7th graders) at Seacrest School in Half Moon Bay. The team thanks Laurie Schoeffler for her leadership in setting up the pilot program.
