This episode is a conversation about the complex and important relationship between physical activity and brain health. Topics covered include specific impacts of physical activity (including formal exercise) and sedentary behavior on brain health; measurement of physical activity; reduction in the risk of later life cognitive decline (including neurodegenerative diseases); findings from neuroimaging, cognitive testing, and mental health reporting; mechanisms of physical activity's impact on brain health; protocols for exercising to improve brain health; aerobic and resistance training; person characteristics that moderate the relationship between physical activity and brain health; and how neuropsychologists can implement physical activity interventions in their patients.

Today we give you our conversation with Dr. Andrew Kiselica about neuropsychological test interpretation. Andrew is a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist and Associate Professor in the Institute of Gerontology at the University of Georgia. He recently first authored a review paper providing clinically relevant guidance regarding neuropsych test interpretation. In the paper they cover a variety of specific topics such as regression based norms, multivariate base rates, and within-person variability, among others. In our conversation with Andrew, we covered most of these individual topics and we are going to break this one up and release it in chunks, with each episode reflecting a different topic. Today's topic is an overall introduction to neuropsychological test interpretation and then a specific conversation about regression based norms.

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.
