Biography

Arnold Bakker is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Johns Hopkins University, focusing his research on cognitive neuroscience and human memory. His work investigates the neural mechanisms underlying both normal and impaired memory functions, particularly in the context of aging and disease. Using advanced neuroimaging methods, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging and diffusion tensor imaging, Dr. Bakker conducts experimental behavioral assessments to understand how memory is affected in conditions like mild cognitive impairment. He has contributed to numerous publications in leading scientific journals, reflecting his expertise in memory research and neuroimaging techniques. Dr. Bakker earned his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University in 2011, along with a Master’s degree in the same institution and a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from Tilburg University. His ongoing research endeavors include clinical trials assessing memory function and therapeutic interventions for cognitive impairments.
