Research
Dr. Nocera’s research has predominantly focused on understanding the intersection of physical and cognitive functioning in older adults and patients with neurological diseases. For the last 10 years, Dr. Nocera has focused on examining longitudinal changes in mobility and executive functions brought on by aging, neurological disease and/or interventions, specifically aerobic exercise. He has recently begun collaborating with other doctors on cancer and cancer related treatments that impact both physical and cognitive functioning and how exercise can lessen decline.
