This episode is a discussion with Dr. Adele Diamond about executive functions (EFs), with a focus on children and the developing brain. The conversation covers a wide range of topics, including models of EFs, three core EFs (inhibitory control, working memory, and cognitive flexibility), the differential development of EF components during childhood, the ability of early EFs to predict later life outcomes, relationships between EFs and fluid intelligence, assessment of EFs, task impurity, and interventions to improve EFs in children.

Today we give you our third pediatric clinical case with Dr. Sakina Butt. Sakina is a neuropsychologist and the neuropsych postdoctoral fellowship training director at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital; she is board certified in clinical neuropsychology and in the pediatric subspecialty.  For this case, Sakina talks about a toddler with neonatal abstinence syndrome whom she saw for a neuropsychological evaluation. Just like for the first two cases with Sakina we found this to be an interesting window into a very unique world of neuropsychology, working with very young children. It's well worth it for all of us to consider how to measure brain behavior relationships and promote healthy development in young brains.

This episode is a wide ranging discussion of Parkinson's disease, with Sara Schaefer, MD, MHS. The conversation begins with basic facts, features, and concepts, and then moves into more complex topics, while covering many critical factors for neuropsychologists to consider. It includes a focus on diagnosis/symptoms, epidemiology, core neuropathology, neurodiagnostic approaches, risk factors (e.g., REM behavior disorder), nonmotor features (e.g., autonomic, neuropsychiatric, cognitive), subtypes, and treatment approaches.

This episode is a broad overview of brain health in adults. We discuss methods for encouraging positive brain health behavior change in our patients, how to help patients who have little to no motivation for change ("precontemplation" stage), the importance of tailoring feedback to a patient's level of health literacy, research support for various forms of brain health (e.g., sleep, nutrition, physical activity), barriers to brain health behavior change (e.g., SES and the physical environment), the relationship between brain health and mental health, and advocacy work in the brain health space.

We are doing something a little different for this episode since this is a major milestone for NavNeuro (Episode 100!).  Specifically, we are going to deliver a presentation on how digital forms of education (podcasts, webinars, and social media platforms) might be used in formal training programs in neuropsychology.  During the talk, we provide 1) an introduction to the three digital education methods; 2) we give a discussion of general benefits and drawbacks of each of the methods; 3) we provide a literature review on self-reported satisfaction and objective learning outcomes; and 4) we will give some recommendations for how educators and neuropsychology trainees might implement these methods effectively.
