The Neuropsychology and Neuroscience Laboratory (NNL) conducts research and training in the study of human cognition and its rehabilitation in clinical populations using the research approaches of neuropsychology, functional brain imaging, and cognitive neuroscience. Current research examines neuropsychological deficits associated with a variety of clinical populations, including multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and stroke. The laboratory conducts collaborative research with over 25 other individuals locally, nationally, and internationally. Fellowships have been funded through a variety of sources, including the National Institutes of Health (F32 and T32 funding mechanisms), the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, The National Multiple Sclerosis Society and the Kessler Foundation. The NNL was initiated in 1990 and in the ensuing years has published over 300 articles, abstracts, and book chapters, and has made over 250 professional presentations.
The mission of the Neuropsychology and Neuroscience Laboratory is to provide training and research in the areas of behavioral neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience. In addition, the NNL seeks to provide training to developing rehabilitation researchers thereby encouraging growth in the field. The NNL is extremely productive in achieving the goals set out from this mission. The rate of publications, presentations at national and international conferences and graduation of trainees continues to grow and expand. The NNL has several multi-year grants to support our research and training activities. Research in the laboratory examines neuropsychological deficits associated with a variety of clinical populations, particularly individuals who have multiple sclerosis (MS) or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). The laboratory conducts collaborative research with numerous individuals locally, nationally and internationally.
