The Vivian Smith Advanced Studies Institute of the INS

The Institute was started in 2002 to promote dissemination of knowledge in the fields of cognitive neuroscience and clinical neuropsychology ; to promote formation of professional bonds among future and current leaders in these fields from across the world; to promote the in-depth study of fundamental questions in these fields and seek solutions under conditions that optimize such academic pursuits. The practical consequences of these endeavors are expected to include advancement in our conceptions of (a) the neurophysiological mechanisms of sensory, motor and higher psychological functions, (b) the pathophysiology of deficits in these functions, (c) mechanisms of their restitution, treatment and approaches to rehabilitation.  For more information, please visit: http://www.uth.tmc.edu/clinicalneuro/institute/
