Areas of Clinical Specialization:
Neuropsychological assessment of candidates for epilepsy surgery; Neuropsychological
assessment of children with neurodevelopmental disorder (e.g., ADHD, Learning
Disorders, Autistic Spectrum Disorders) or neurological conditions (e.g., Traumatic
Brain Injury, Prematurity/Low Birth Weight, Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy).
Research Interests:
·
Over the years I have been very fortunate to collaborate with some tremendous
researchers here at UNM. My major interests of research are in the neuropsychological
and neurological underpinnings of neurodevelopmental disorders, including ADHD and
pediatric traumatic brain injury. My interests have been in the investigation of the
neuropsychological and neuroimaging (MRI/MRS) correlates of ADHD and its subtypes
over time. We have demonstrated that the established differences in right frontal volume
between ADHD and normal controls were related to reduced dorsolateral region volume
rather than orbitofrontal volumes. We also found total brain, cerebellar and blobus
pallidus volumes and corpus callosal area to be smaller in ADHD compared to normal
controls We also found gender and age differences in neurometabolite concentrations
in a right frontal voxel in ADHD and that these were related to neurocognitive function
and differences in neurometabolite concentrations related to ADHD subtype. We are
currently investigating the developmental trajectories of brain volumes in ADHD. In
regards to our research in pediatric traumatic brain injury, we have investigated the
neuropsychological and neuroimaging (MRI/MRS) correlates associated with TBI
recovery in children and the role of amphetamine in the recovery of pediatric TBI. More
recently, I am involved in the investigation of the effects of erythropoietin on the
neurocognitive outcome of premature infants. I was recently invited to participate as a
co-investigator in a research study investigating the effects of erythropoietin on the
neurocognitive outcome of premature infants and baseline traditional
neuropsychological measures and computerized neuropsychological measures and
neuroimaging correlates of sports concussion.
