About the speaker: <https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Ini/goldberg.jpg> The lecture series will feature 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. Elkhonon Goldberg, Ph.D., ABPP authored numerous research papers on functional cortical organization, hemispheric specialization, frontal lobe functions and dysfunction, memory and amnesiac, traumatic brain injury, dementias, and schizophrenia. Goldberg's books The Executive Brain (2001), The Wisdom Paradox (2005), and The New Executive Brain (2009) have been translated into 16 languages. He coauthored The SharpBrains Guide to Cognitive Fitness (2013). A sought-after educator, he has lectured worldwide.
