Francisco is a psychiatrist who takes part in a joint Ph.D. program at the University of Groningen and the National University of Mexico (UNAM). In his research line, we study the neural basis of executive (dys)function and behavioral symptoms in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease, using advanced MRI and EEG methods. We furthermore adapt and validate new neuropsychological tests for both the Netherlands and for Mexico in the 4C Study: cross-cultural cognitive control. Francisco is furthermore a fellow of Alzheimer Nederland.
