Dr Kyla-Louise Horne is a Research Fellow at the New Zealand Brain Research Institute in Christchurch, New Zealand, with an affiliation to the Department of Medicine in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Otago, Christchurch, within the Health Sciences Division. She earned her PhD in Neuropsychology from the University of Canterbury, along with a BA (Hons) and BSc from the same institution. Her academic career includes receiving a Brain Research New Zealand Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2017 while at the University of Otago. Horne's research centers on cognitive and neuropsychiatric aspects of neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Alzheimer's disease, ageing, cognitive impairment, dementia, hallucinations, perceptual disturbances, mood disorders, and caregiver burden. She contributes significantly to the New Zealand Parkinson's Progression Programme (NZP3), a longitudinal study tracking disease progression through clinical, neurocognitive, and neuroimaging assessments. Current projects under her involvement explore dementia risk in Parkinson's disease, MRI-derived modelling of ageing, speech disfluencies, apathy, impulsivity, and decision-making deficits in these conditions.
