Areas of Specialization: Neuroanatomical correlates of complex movement by studying cognitive-behavioral deficits in focal lesion stroke and Parkinson’s and Huntington’s Disease and functional MRI; ipsilesional motor deficits after stroke and its functional implications; cognitive changes with normal aging. The brain has always fascinated me. I began doing animal research and quickly learned that hemispheric specialization and cognition of the human brain were the greatest fascination. I have always been a clinician doing neuropsychology with a strong interest in research, and I believe that my clinical work has “kept my feet on the ground.” I have been continuously funded for the last 25 years and I am now a VA Research Career Scientist, which allows me to devote about 50% of my time to research collaborations. Recently, I have become interested in the cognitive correlates of post traumatic stress disorder and mild traumatic brain injury, which is funded through a grant from the Department of Defense. I have been involved in national and international professional organizations, as past-president of the American Board of Clinical Neuropsychology, a specialty board under the American Board of Professional Psychology and the Neuropsychology Division of the American Psychological Association, and Editor of the Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society. I am heavily involved in mentoring students and faculty, especially in research. I particularly enjoy mentoring interns and postdoctoral fellows in our psychology training program and junior faculty. As Vice-Chair for Research I coordinate the review of all departmental research. I also administer the Rosenbaum Award, an intramural grant for psychosocial research in psychiatry, and the Resident Research Award, which is given every year to the resident who makes the biggest contribution to research. I very much enjoy my contact with residents through formal teaching and when they rotate through the Neuropsychology Program at the VA, and I would love to have more contact with the residents, especially if they have an interest in cognitive markers of psychiatric and neurologic diagnoses. For fun, my husband and I are avid hikers, skiers, and travelers, and we love visiting our son in Boston. Recent Publications: 1. Haaland, K.Y., Elsinger, C., Mayer, A., Durgerian, S., Rao, S.
