Liz's research explores the impact of stress on the brain and our cognitive abilities. This ranges from assessing the impact of everyday mild to moderate stressful experiences, such as job interviews, on cognitive abilities like memory to exploring the long-term impact of highly stressful life events (such as bereavement or experiences of abuse) on the grey and white matter structure in the brain.
