About Our Program

Cerebral and cerebellar aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations
Multiple sclerosis
Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders
Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia
Hydrocephalus
Epilepsy
Malignant and benign brain tumors

Pre- and Postsurgical Neuropsychological Assessment and Treatment

Patients being considered for certain neurosurgical procedures may undergo neuropsychological evaluation before surgery. Patients who have undergone brain surgery are offered neuropsychological evaluation to determine what neuropsychological rehabilitation might be needed. Evaluation takes place at the Inpatient Neurorehabilitation Unit, the Outpatient Neuropsychological Consultation Services, or the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit and is administered by staff of the clinical neuropsychology department. Some of these individuals are then treated at the Center for Transitional Neuro-Rehabilitation, under the clinical leadership of Pamela Klonoff, PhD.

Clinical Education and Research

The Neuropsychology Program is actively involved in training and research. This program has a two-year Residency Program in Clinical Neuropsychology and a separate two-year Residency Program in Rehabilitation Psychology, both of which prepare clinical psychologists to seek board certification in those respective specialty areas and to ultimately function as independent practitioners. In addition, there are a number of ongoing research projects conducted by neuropsychologists.
