Report of Clinical Activities
Description of Clinical Practice
I am a general adult neurologist (board certified in 1988) with fellowship training in Behavioral Neurology and
Stroke and a PhD in Neurobiology/Neurophysiology. I see inpatients and outpatients and perform laboratory
testing in Neuropsychology (psychometric testing) and Neurophysiology (Electromyoneurography;
Somatosensory, Visual, and Auditory Evoked Potentials). I have published original work on the use of
cognitive tests, hearing tests, electrophysiological tests, MRI, and PET in stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis,
vegetative, neurosurgical, and dyslexia patients.
