Webinar – Advances in TBI: Emerging Role of Imaging and Blood Biomarkers
Across all areas of medicine and research, biomarkers are proving to provide great value in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of injury or disease. Major progress has been achieved toward advancing blood and imaging biomarkers for TBI and concussion. This session will review emerging evidence from large-scale studies of TBI biomarkers in civilians, athletes and military […]
Webinar – Acute TBI Rehabilitation: Treatment Approaches Associated with Better Outcomes
Comparative effectiveness research is identifying treatment approaches delivered during acute inpatient TBI rehabilitation associated with better outcomes at hospital discharge and across the first year following injury. This webinar will present evidence for treatment associated with better outcomes following TBI and the collaborative role neuropsychologists can play in assisting interdisciplinary rehabilitation teams to implement these […]
Webinar – The Neuropsychology of Creativity
In the 70 years since Guilford used his presidential address at the APA to launch the scientific investigation of creativity, we have learned a great deal about how to define creative achievements, identify creative individuals, and examine the associated psychological and physiological processes. This presentation summarizes work conducted at the Tennenbaum Center for the Biology […]
Webinar – Research and Clinical Practice: Sex Differences in Dementia
Sex and gender differences have become increasingly recognized across the dementias in recent years. In this webinar, Dr. Rachel Buckley will review current evidence for sex differences in Alzheimer’s disease risk across the measurement spectrum – from epidemiological evidence to clinical phenotypes and biological markers. Further, she will discuss the question of whether these sex […]
Webinar – Ageing with Brain Injury and its Association with Risk for Dementia
The later-in-life effects of traumatic brain injury has been a subject of debate over the past decade. Increasingly, the association between brain injury and risk of developing dementia has attracted media headlines, influencing the public’s perception about the later-in-life effects. Understanding aging with brain injury involves assessing multiple sources of information regarding typical and problematic […]
Webinar – An Introduction to Neurodegenerative Pathology for Neuropsychologists
Autopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosis of neurodegenerative disease. Neurodegeneration is defined as the progressive loss of selectively vulnerable neurons in specific anatomic networks, thus leading to neuronal death and cognitive impairment. Neurodegenerative diseases are therefore characterized by the clinical phenotype (e.g. a dementia syndrome), anatomic patterns of atrophy or vulnerability, and pathology at […]
Webinar – Cannabis and Neuropsychological Functioning: An Update on Adverse Effects in Adolescence and Beyond
Public sentiment and laws around the use of cannabis continue to become more permissive in the United States alongside a growing perception of effective medicinal applications. Yet, there is a robust literature documenting cannabis-associated worsening of neuropsychological functioning. What does the current scientific research suggest about the type and magnitude of neuropsychological side-effects from recreational […]
Webinar – COVID-19 Teleneuropsychology(TeleNP)
In response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, there is a pressing need for neuropsychology to apply tele-communication technologies to deliver services to patients unable to attend in-person appointments. Encouragingly, new evidence is emerging to support development of novel models of neuropsychology service delivery remotely. Using North America and Australia as examples, this webinar will illustrate […]
Podcast Episode 124 | The Neuropsychology of Addiction – With Dr. Antonio Verdejo-Garcia
This episode is a conversation with Dr. Antonio Verdejo-Garcia about the neuropsychology of addiction. We cover addiction epidemiology, the syndrome model, neurobiology, transdiagnostic constructs such as compulsivity, behavioral addictions, cognitive profiles linked to substances of abuse, and behavioral, pharmacological, and cognitive treatments for people with addictions.
Podcast Episode 122| Parkinson’s Disease – With Dr. Sara Schaefer
This episode is a wide ranging discussion of Parkinson’s disease, with Dr. Sara Schaefer. The conversation begins with basic facts, features, and concepts, and then moves into more complex topics, while covering many critical factors for neuropsychologists to consider. It includes a focus on diagnosis/symptoms, epidemiology, core neuropathology, neurodiagnostic approaches, risk factors (e.g., REM behavior […]
