Published Research:
In addition to the above, right hemisphere developmental learning disability.
Research Projects:
Studies of language disorders in primary progressive aphasia and Alzheimer's disease; visual spatial attention in Alzheimer's disease and aging; neuropsychological features of neurodegenerative brain disease. The goal of this research is to understand the neurobiological underpinnings of cortical specialization for cognition and how it is disrupted in different molecular forms of brain degeneration.
Clinical Interests:
Neuropsychological assessment of patients with all forms of dementia (specializing in atypical diseases such as frontotemporal dementia and primary progressive aphasia), epilepsy and adult residua of developmental learning disabilities; short-term educational and supportive counseling for patients and caregivers.
