Research For Researchers: Cognition and Cholinergic Function after Traumatic Brain Injury: Lessons in TBI Translational Neuroscience (ACLP Foundation Research Professor Award Presentation)
2021 ACLP Foundation Research Professor Award Winner
This presentation will offer a clinical context for inquiry into the relationship between cognition and cholinergic dysfunction after TBI. Dr. Arciniegas will briefly review cerebral cholinergic systems (structural and functional neuroanatomy in health); effects of TBI cerebral cholinergic systems; and clinical neurophysiology studies, neuroimaging studies, and clinical trials on cognition and cholinergic function to the study and care of persons with TBI. Attendees will also consider the clinical implications of all the above on the care of persons with persistent posttraumatic cognitive impairments.
Speakers
David Arciniegas
Professor and Senior Research Neuropsychiatrist | University of New Mexico School of Medicine
Dr. Arciniegas serves as Professor and Senior Research Neuropsychiatrist and Professor of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, University of New Mexico School of Medicine and as Director of Research for the Marcus Institute for Brain Health and Clinical Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. His research, educational, and clinical work as a subspecialist in Behavioral Neurology & Neuropsychiatry over the last 25 years have focused principally on the cognitive and non-cognitive neuropsychiatric sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI). The overarching aims of these studies has been the multimodal neuroimaging characterization of the structural and functional neuroanatomy of TBI-related cognitive, emotional, and behavioral disturbances and the development of pharmacologic and rehabilitative treatments for such problems. He has published extensively on these and related topics in peer-reviewed journals and in reference textbooks in neuropsychiatry and brain injury medicine. He is a highly-sought lecturer on these topics and frequently to national and international audiences and has received multiple national awards for his work as a TBI neuropsychiatry-focused clinician-scientist. He serves presently as Editor of the Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences and is a member of the editorial boards of Brain Injury and Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation. In addition to his academic duties, he has been a member of multiple Behavioral Neurology & Neuropsychiatry-focused committees and tasks forces of the United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties, serves presently as President-Elect of the American Neuropsychiatric Association, and is the Chairman and CEO of the International Brain Injury Association.
