NYNG Social Hour Cinco de Mayo at Bar 29 The goals of NYNG are to promote interest in neuropsychology and to provide educational opportunities to students and seasoned professionals alike! As an interdisciplinary group, we are committed to bringing our friends in related disciplines. A goal of the social hours is not only to spend time with your friends and colleagues, but also to network and create and sustain professional contacts! (AKA: "Schmooze"). Know an OT that you refer to frequently? Invite them along! Have a friend that provides Orton-Gillingham reading interventions to children? We'd love to meet them!! Have a friend that thinks vaccinations cause autism and which can then be treated with hyperbaric oxygen?? Bill Mac would be happy to get tipsy and lambaste them for their pseudoscientific beliefs and complete misunderstanding of the scientific literature!! Location: Date: TBA*
New York Neuropsychology Group Colloquium: Sex Differences in Neuropsychology Deborah J. Walder, Ph.D. Although often neglected in clinical or experimental neuropsychology, sex differences can be found in patterns of responses and in brain organization. Dr. Walder will give an overview and then report on some of her own research, in a research program that focuses on the neurodevelopment of mental disorders such as schizophrenia and depression. She studies bio-markers of risk such as neurohormones, brain abnormalities, genetics, and neuropsychological functioning, and their interactions with psychosocial factors (stress), and consideration of sex differences, among high-risk youth. This includes use of prospective methods to better understand the early trajectory of illness, with an eye toward prevention and early intervention. LOCATION: Additional Information: please contact Frank LeFever at fflefever@yahoo.com * Due to a serious family emergency, Dr. Walder was not be able to present her talk, May 20th, 2009 as originally scheduled. A new date will be announced.
