Cheatham Nutrition & Cognition Lab

The research in our lab focuses on effects of nutrition on brain development and function throughout the lifespan. Carol L. Cheatham, Ph.D.

We are a UNC - Chapel Hill lab located at the UNC-CH Nutrition Research Institute on the North Carolina Research Campus in Kannapolis NC (outside of Charlotte). We have studied breastfed 6-month olds to determine how the mother’s genotype affects brain development. Most recently, we have enrolled 65- to 79- year-olds who are experiencing mild cognitive decline to see if supplementing their diet with blueberries slows down the effects of memory loss. specializes in the effects of nutrition on pediatric brain development. Dr. Cheatham and her team are working to discover how certain nutrients affect the development of people across the lifespan. For example, she is interested in the development of memory and attention as they are the basis for learning and thus, school readiness. Many different methods are used in the Cheatham lab to assess abilities.
