Distinguished Neuropsychologist Award Lecture 1999. The lesion(s) in traumatic brain injury: implications for clinical neuropsychology.

This paper overviews the current status of neuroimaging in neuropsychological outcome in traumatic brain injury (TBI). The pathophysiology of TBI is reviewed and integrated with expected neuroimaging and neuropsychological findings. The integration of clinical and quantitative magnetic resonance (QMR) imaging is the main topic of review, but these findings are integrated with single photon emis...

Neurobiology and neuropathology underlie the neuropsychological deficits associated with traumatic brain injury.

The neurobiological and neuropathological bases that underlie the neuropsychological deficits associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI), including mild TBI, are further reviewed. The article provides an update on neuroimaging methods and findings in the study of TBI since the author's published address of the 1999 Distinguished Neuropsychologist Award of the National Academy of Neuropsycholo...

Authentic professional competence in clinical neuropsychology.

Authentic Professional Competence in Clinical Neuropsychology was Dr Denney's 2009 presidential address at the Annual Conference of the National Academy of Neuropsychology. In his address, he highlighted the need for clinical neuropsychologists to strive for authentic professional competence rather than a mere pretense of expertise. Undisputed credibility arises from authentic professional comp...

Science mirroring reality: an improbable journey into the functions of the frontal lobes.

Receiving the National Academy of Neuropsychology's Lifetime Contributions to Neuropsychology Award promoted reflection on values and decisions. Selecting the topic of the presentation associated with the award also led to rumination. The term "lifetime" was the deciding factor: how does one choose and start a career path, what advice might one give to individuals embarking on their own career,...
