The Center for Cognitive Medicine is dedicated to
developing new knowledge about the cognitive problems
caused by brain disorders and normal aging. In our clinical
work, we use neuropsychological assessments, eye movement
measurements and functional brain imaging to diagnose the
causes of cognitive disabilities. In our research clinics, we
treat patients with novel pharmacologic approaches
designed to enhance and preserve cognitive abilities. Our current
research programs are focused on autism, traumatic brain injury, the
effects of hormones on brain function, and the early evaluation and
treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Medical students,
graduate students, residents, psychology interns and postdoctoral
fellows train in the Center. We have a weekly seminar series open to the
professional community where we discuss new research findings and
individual patients presenting with atypical brain disorders.
