ForwardSession 2: Current Topics in Neuropsychology (July 25-29)
MCW Neuropsychology faculty will discuss topics in clinical neuropsychology through discussion of case examples and current research. This set of workshops will cover functional neuroanatomy, neurobehavioral syndromes, forensic neuropsychology, optimizing developmental outcomes, and differential diagnoses across the lifespan.
Monday Dr. Sabsevitz-Neuroanatomy; Localization of function and neurobehavioral syndromes associated with injury; Disconnection syndromes; Aphasias, hemispatial neglect, and frontal lobe syndromes; Neuroimaging and neuroanatomy
Tuesday Dr. Swanson-Interacting with attorneys; Identifying your role in medicolegal evaluations; Limits of confidentiality; Providing testimony; Symptom and performance validity testing; Functional imaging, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, and persistent post-concussion syndrome
Wednesday Dr. Trivedi-Decline in memory and executive functioning; Normal aging vs dementia; Mild cognitive impairment; Major neurocognitive disorder; Dementia
Thursday Dr. Loman-Typical neurocognitive development; Research contributing to deviation from and/or maintenance of typical developmental pathways; Current activities aimed at bettering cognition
Friday Dr. Koop-Diagnosis and treatment of Autism Spectrum disorders; DSM-V changes to diagnostic criteria; Etiological considerations and neuroanatomical and functional findings; Current trends in intervention and treatment; Research approaches to optimize outcomesAccreditation and Designation of Credit:
