About this event

The Luria Neuroscience Institute is pleased to introduce the webinar "Executive Functions and Frontal Lobes in Health and Disease". Executive functions represent the highest level of cognitive control and involve goal formation, planning, mental flexibility, impulse control, working memory. Executive functions are mediated by the prefrontal cortex and related structures. In this webinar we will examine their cognitive composition, neural mechanisms, changes throughout the lifespan, and gender differences. We will also examine how executive functions become impaired in a wide range of neurological, neuropsychiatric, neurodevelopmental, and neurogeriatric disorders.

The webinar features Elkhonon Goldberg, Ph.D., ABPP., a clinical neuropsychologist and cognitive neuroscientist, Clinical Professor in the Department of Neurology, NYU School of Medicine and Diplomate of The American Board of Professional Psychology in Clinical Neuropsychology. His critically acclaimed and bestselling books have been published in 21 languages.

The webinar takes 3 hours and 3 CE Credits will be awarded. The fee for the webinar is $145. There is a separate $15 processing fee charged by CE credit sponsor R. Cassidy Seminars.

Executive Functions and Frontal Lobes in Health and Disease

Executive functions are mediated by the prefrontal cortex and related structures.

We will also examine how executive functions become impaired in a wide range of neurological, neuropsychiatric, neurodevelopmental, and neurogeriatric disorders.

Agenda:

  • Executive functions and frontal-lobe functions: are they the same? Neuroanatomy of executive functions.
  • Components of executive functions (planning, impulse control, working memory, and others).
  • Frontal lobes and large-scale networks (Central Executive, Default Mode, and others). Are they lateralized?
  • Agent-centered cognition and frontal-lobe functions. Impairments of agent-centered cognition.
  • Sex differences in the functional organization of the frontal lobes.
  • Executive functions and intelligence.
  • Role of the frontal lobes in novelty-seeking and creativity.
  • Regulation of emotions and frontal-lobe dysfunction.
  • Executive deficit in neurological disorders.
  • Executive deficit in psychiatric disorders.

Elkhonon Goldberg is a clinical neuropsychologist and a cognitive neuroscientist with more than 30 years of experience. Goldberg’s clinical practice spans the whole range of neuropsychological disorders, including traumatic brain injury, dementias, neurodevelopmental disorders, and forensic neuropsychology. Goldberg research includes cortical organization, hemispheric specialization, frontal lobes, memory, traumatic brain injury, dementias, schizophrenia, and other topics. Goldberg has authored several influential books and published a number of research papers in peer-reviewed journals. Goldberg is also a sought-after educator who lectures worldwide. He was a Visiting Professor at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, University of Sydney and has taught at other major universities worldwide. He has mentored a number of students and post-doctoral trainees, many of whom have become prominent neuropsychologists and neuroscientists in their own right. Elkhonon Goldberg is a Clinical Professor in the Department of Neurology of New York University School of Medicine and a Diplomate of The American Board of Professional Psychology in Clinical Neuropsychology. He is a recipient of The Copernicus Prize for his “contributions to interdisciplinary dialogue between neurosciences and neuropsychology, and the Tempos Hominis medal for international medical sciences education.” He is a foreign member of The Venetian Institute of Science, Literature and Arts. His books The Executive Brain (2001), The Wisdom Paradox (2005), and The New Executive Brain (2009) have been translated into close to 20 languages.
