MITO Meeting: MONTHLY INTERNATIONAL TELECONFERENCE OUTREACH
Dr. Schreiber has recently begun a research project investigating the learning and metacognitive problems commonly experienced by teens and young adults who have mitochondrial disease. She is motivated to better understand the difficulty that mito patients have with “executive function”, a series of processes in the brain that are necessary for planning, organization, abstract thinking, troubleshooting, strategizing, etc. Specifically, Dr. Schreiber hopes to help teens and young adults improve these areas in order to have more success with life transitions, such as going to college.
