Eve De Rosa is the Mibs Martin Follett Professor of Human Ecology at Cornell University, specializing in comparative cognitive neuroscience. Her research employs a cross-species approach comparing rat models to human neurochemistry, particularly focusing on the role of the neurochemical acetylcholine in attention and learning. She applies a lifespan approach to examine the cholinergic hypothesis relating to age-related changes in cognition and the development of attentional control in children. De Rosa utilizes functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to map activity and develop theoretical models tested in rats through various techniques. After earning her B.A. in Biology-Psychology from Vassar College, she worked as a research assistant at Harvard University School of Medicine before completing her Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology at Harvard and postdoctoral training in human neuroscience at Stanford University School of Medicine. De Rosa is passionate about pedagogy, aiming to inspire curiosity in cognitive neuroscience among her students through engaging teaching methods and collaborative research experiences. Her commitment to mentoring emphasizes the ethical responsibilities of research and fosters a nurturing environment for independent study.
