Our hope is that integrating these base rates with our demographic MERGER norms will help clinicians more precisely interpret neuropsychological test data and improve diagnostic accuracy for older adults. academic.oup.com/acn/article-ab…

The paper includes base rates of score discrepancies between subtest and index scores within the MERGER battery, base rates of cognitive dispersion and low scores across impairment thresholds, and the accuracy of these cutoffs in distinguishing healthy controls, MCI, and dementia

Excited to share our 2nd paper from the Montefiore Einstein Robust Geriatric Normative Project (MERGER-NP)! 🎉 In this study, we provide multivariate base rates that expand on the demographic norms from our first paper. 🧵👇tandfonline.com/eprint/H6JZ3SJ…

Thrilled to share that the first paper of my dissertation has finally been published!! In the paper, we use machine learning techniques to predict recovery timelines following sports-related concussion and identify who may be at risk for prolonged recovery academic.oup.com/acn/advance-ar…

@gthomas_neuro Awesome work, Garrett! Congrats!!

11.7 Tesla Brain MRI 🧠 ! First scans from the world's most powerful MRI scanner! 🔥 It costs around 75 million euros for the 11.7 Tesla MRI machine! 😮 😲 #brain #Neurology #mri #HealthAwareness #radiology

The age old question for trainees: what clinical and research balance would you like in your neuropsychology career? JOIN US on 11/22 at 10:30am PT to hear panelists discuss what different breakdowns on that spectrum look like. Register: forms.gle/jov4Cej7Ta2NB1…

The NYNG 2024 Training Fair will be held on Monday November 18th. This is a great opportunity to meet training directors from externship, internship, and post-doctoral fellowship sites and learn more about the programs. For more information --> nyng.org/trainingfair

My New Neuropsychology Website! I've been collecting my neuropsychology tools and resources together and decided to put them all together in an amateur website. Please take a look and consider sharing if you like what you see! neuropsytools.com

Join us tomorrow, October 22nd at 4 PM CST for our didactic on the forensic assessment of electrical injury with Dr. Neil Pliskin!🧠 See below for details! #Neuropsychology #Forensics

Hey #neuropsychtwitter interested in a neuropsych post doc with an emphasis on tech and aging? Want clinical and research training in Austin? I’m taking two fellows this cycle so please get in touch if interested!

@El_GioRamos @UCBerkeley @BerkeleyPsych Wow! Congrats, Gio!!!

I'm ecstatic to share that starting July 2025, I'll join @UCBerkeley as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the @BerkeleyPsych Department! This is a dream come true for an immigrant from Mexico who left everything and everyone he knew behind to relocate to the US in 2013

Interesting new article commenting on the quality of CTE research and claims of causality. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

‼️Just announced‼️ A coffee chat panel focused on Navigating Pre-Doctoral Internship and Postdoctoral Fellowship applications is scheduled for next Wednesday, September 18th at 3pm ET (2pmCT/12pm PT) with @Kriegler25 @bryancephalon @DrJuliaMaietta Registration details below!

‼️So excited to share my sole-author paper on using digital technology to improve performance validity testing! #Neuropsychology #Technology 🎉 frontiersin.org/journals/psych…

Truth: "State of the art LLMs don't accurately diagnose patients (performing worse than physicians), don't follow guidelines, cannot interpret lab results, fail to follow instructions, and are sensitive to both the quantity and order of information." nature.com/articles/s4159…

We have lost a legend as Kenneth M. Heilman, M.D., a founder of the field of behavioral neurology who impacted generations of young neurologists worldwide and served the University of Florida College of Medicine for over 50 years, died July 15. Whether it was praxis or neglect or anything behavioral his work covered it all and he will be missed. He was 86. Behavioral neurology is a subspecialty focused on memory and cognitive disorders, and under Heilman’s leadership, UF developed one of the earliest fellowship programs in the field. To date, nearly 100 trainees have completed UF’s fellowship program and then spread across the world to practice and pass on the lessons to up-and-coming physicians. A researcher in disorders involving attention, emotion, motor programming, language, and memory, Heilman left a prolific literary legacy, writing or editing 22 books, more than 115 chapters, and over 670 journal publications, with more than 67,000 citations. “His work and that of his trainees extended to almost all areas of neurology. His studies of cognition in dementia, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, and stroke were huge contributions to the field,” said Steven T. DeKosky, M.D., deputy director of UF’s McKnight Brain Institute who was a medical student and then a resident under Heilman. “He was one of the first to establish correlations of cognitive and behavioral changes with brain changes using new, non-invasive imaging techniques, aiding our understanding of brain-behavior relationships in living patients. We owe him a great debt.” In 1998, Heilman was in the first group of UF faculty members to be named a distinguished professor and remains one of only five in the history of the UF College of Medicine to receive the honor.
