The programs are intended primarily for professionals concerned with mental health and with brain and brain disorders. Each workshop will take 9 hours and 9 CE Credits will be awarded for each. The fee for each workshop is $425. A combined fee for two workshops is $800. Dates: February 7, 2015 (Saturday) and February 21, 2015 (Saturday).

Components of executive functions (planning, impulse control, working memory, and others). 3. Novel approaches to understanding the frontal-lobe functions. 4. Executive functions, laterality, and sex differences. 5. Regulation of emotions: frontal lobes and amygdala. 6. Executive functions in development and aging. 7. Executive dysfunction in neurodevelopmental disorders (ADHD, Tourette's Syndrome). 8. Executive dysfunction in dementias (Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementia, Fronto- temporal dementia). 9. Executive dysfunction in cerebrovascular disorders (CVA, aneurisms). 10. Executive dysfunction in traumatic brain injury (reticulo-frontal disconnection syndrome). 11. Executive dysfunction in neuropsychiatric disorders. 12. Executive dysfunction in movement disorders (Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease).

How the two hemispheres develop and age. 5. Laterality and gender and handedness differences. 6. Laterality and regulation of emotions. 7. Laterality and learning disabilities (dyslexias vs NVLD). 8. Laterality and dementias: Is fronto-temporal dementia lateralized? 9. Laterality and striatal disorders (Parkinson's disease and Tourette's syndrome). 10. Major cerebrovascular disorders and cerebral hemispheres. 11. Laterality and neuropsychiatric disorders: Schizophrenia and the left hemisphere. 12. Laterality and differential functional breakdown threshold. Read the full description and register today at Luria Neuroscience Institute.
