Brain & Behavior

Join us for the Brain & Behavior Psychology Career Panel, an engaging discussion featuring a neurologist, neuropsychologist, and clinical neuropsychologists working in brain injury, concussion management, neurorehabilitation, and mood disorders.

Our panelists will share their career paths, training experiences, and insights into how changes in the brain impact cognition, mood, and behavior in real-world clinical settings. Students will gain a deeper understanding of neuropsychology, neurology, and rehabilitation careers, including graduate training, specializations, and opportunities in medical and athletic settings.

Dr. Sarah Lahey, PhD – Neuropsychologist
Topic: Concussion and Functional Brain Disruption
Dr. Lahey is a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist with specialized training in lifespan neuropsychology and concussion management. Neuropsychology focuses on how brain functioning relates to behavior, cognition, and emotional processes. (Wikipedia)

Dr. Anissa Maffett, PhD – Clinical Neuropsychologist
Topic: Stroke and Behavioral Change
Dr. Maffett specializes in neurorehabilitation following brain injury and focuses on cognitive recovery and long-term functional outcomes after neurological conditions.

Dr. Syed Asad, MD – Neurologist
Topic: Targeting Mood Circuits with TMS
Dr. Asad will discuss Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain and can help improve symptoms of conditions such as depression and other neurological disorders.

This is a great opportunity to network, ask questions, and explore potential career paths in brain and behavioral sciences.

Food and drinks will be provided.
