51| Cognitive and Emotional Sequelae of Cannabis Use – A Conversation With Dr. Igor Grant Aug 01, 2020

Show notes

The legalization of recreational and medical marijuana in several states has brought about more urgent questions about the potential cognitive and neuropsychiatric effects of cannabis use, particularly related to long-term use. Today we talk with Igor Grant, M.D., F.R.C.P., about contemporary cannabis research and how neuropsychologists should consider cannabis use when completing neuropsychological assessments.

50| Non-CNS Cancer and Cognition - A Conversation With Dr. Mike Parsons Jul 15, 2020

Show notes

The cognitive consequences of non-central nervous system (non-CNS) cancer and cancer-related treatments did not become the subject of scientific investigation until recently and is still a growing area of research. Contemporary studies have made it clear that neuropsychology is an integral part of the evaluation and care of individuals with cancer. Today we talk with Michael Parsons, Ph.D., ABPP-CN, about the evaluation of cognitive change due to cancer and cancer-related treatment, factors that influence cognitive decline in these patients, and how interdisciplinary work can benefit these patients.

48| Neuropsychology of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) – A Conversation With Dr. April Thames Jun 15, 2020

Show notes

The U.S. has the largest annual incidence of new human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) diagnoses among high-income nations. This is relevant for neuropsychologists because individuals with HIV develop a spectrum of cognitive, motor, and/or mood problems collectively known as HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorder (HAND). In this episode, we talk with April Thames, Ph.D., about cross-cultural considerations and age-related cognitive decline in HIV.

47| Uniform Test Score Labeling – A Conversation With Dr. Tom Guilmette Jun 01, 2020

Show notes

Previously, test score labeling has varied across practitioners, leading to discrepancies in the interpretation and communication of neuropsychological assessment results. The American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology (AACN) formed a consensus conference to address this concern, charged with establishing a uniform test score labeling system. Today we talk with co-chair Tom Guilmette, Ph.D., ABPP-CN, about the new system and the hope that all neuropsychologists will adopt it.

As states and counties begin lifting stay-at-home orders, many neuropsychologists are considering resuming their in-person clinical services.

45| Neuropsychology on the Go: Ecological Momentary Assessment and Mobile Cognitive Testing – A Conversation With Dr. Raeanne Moore May 15, 2020

Show notes

Technology is changing at an ever-increasing rate, warranting the need to stay updated with current advancements.
