The Neuropsychological Profile of Vascular Cognitive Impairment
Brandy Callahan is an Assistant Professor of Psychology and holds a Canada Research Chair in Adult Clinical Neuropsychology at the University of Calgary. Her research focuses on how psychiatric conditions may impact brain health in older adults. A major goal of this program of research is to promote understanding of ADHD in later life, and clarify the relationship between its clinical features and those of age-related cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer’s or Lewy body diseases. She is a clinically trained geriatric neuropsychologist, and her scientific approach relies heavily on clinical methodologies such as cognitive testing. She also integrates cutting-edge techniques including structural neuroimaging and cerebrospinal or blood fluid markers of neurodegenerative disease processes.
