Welcome to the HNRC
HIV Neurobehavioral Research Center
The mission of the HNRC is to increase our understanding of how HIV and other diseases affect the human nervous system. The Center is supported by public funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) (NIMH Award Number P30MH062512). The HNRC conducts local, national, and international research devoted to advancing our knowledge of the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of HIV-related diseases as they affect the brain and nervous system, and result in impairment of everyday functioning.

Erin Sundermann Promotes the Need for Sex-Specific Cut Scores in Alzheimer’s Diagnoses
Several studies presented at the 2018 Alzheimer's Association International Conferenc focused on how Alzheimer’s disease manifests in women. HNRP investigator Erin Sundermann reported on how women may be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s later in disease course than men due to superior verbal performance that survives into the early stages of disease. Women’s verbal compensation strategies on diagnostic tests may cause a delay in treatment. Sex-specific cut scores could enable women to access treatment earlier and improve disease progression.
