Biography
Dr. Jak’s program of research is focused on the neuropsychology of traumatic brain injury (TBI) as well as aging. Her research in TBI is an extension of her clinical work in the VA Cognitive Rehabilitation Clinic and examines the neuropsychological presentation of mild traumatic brain injury and its comorbidity with mental health disorders. Her research in aging focuses specifically on diagnostic approaches to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) as well as how protective behavioral factors (e.g., physically and mentally active lifestyles) impact cognition and brain structural integrity in normally aging elders as well as those with MCI.

Sleep Disturbance, Psychiatric, and Cognitive Functioning in Veterans with Mild to Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury
Objective: For many Veterans, traumatic brain injury (TBI) can result in persistent post-concussive symptoms, of which sleep disturbances are among the most common. S disturbances have been shown to increase risk and/or exacerbate psychiatric and physical health problems in many different populations. However, few studies have examined the relationships among sleep, psychiatric, and cognitive functioning in Veterans with TBI.
