The Neuropsychology of Parkinson’s - Anthony Logalbo, PhD

Parkinson’s can cause changes in some cognitive functions that range from mild impairment to more complex, including dementia. Understanding these changes and how to cope with them is an important part of the comprehensive management of PD. Neuropsychological testing done by a neuropsychologist, a psychologist who specializes in understanding the relationship between the brain and behavior, can detect even mild cognitive changes and provide valuable insight to patients and family members. Join us for a spotlight on the neuropsychology of Parkinson's with Anthony Logalbo, PhD, a board certified neuropsychologist who specializes in the assessment and treatment of patients with neurodegenerative diseases.
