Tune in for an insightful conversation about social cognition, neuroscience and the importance of representation for women in STEM with Dr. Helen Genova. She is the assistant director of the Kessler Foundation's Center for Neuropsychology and Neuroscience Research and director of the Social Cognition and Neuroscience Laboratory. Recently, she was awarded a grant from the NJ Department of Health for a research project that aimed to better prepare autistic adolescents for job interviews. In the study, the young adults were talented and hardworking, but it was often the initial hurdle of having a career-oriented conversation that was challenging.

Sometimes, you can just look at someone and know how they're feeling. Our ability to "read people" is called social cognition. And we're learning that people living with MS can lose their social cognition skills, making every face-to-face interaction more difficult. My guest is Dr. Helen Genova, the Assistant Director of the Kessler Foundation's Center for Neuropsychology and Neuroscience Research, the Director of the Social Cognition and Neuroscience Laboratory at the Kessler Foundation, and an expert in social cognition.       Today is National Voter Registration Day, and we'll remind you about why that should be important to everyone affected by MS or any other chronic illness. We're talking about why the FTC is clamping down on the claims that some companies are making about their CBD products. We'll tell you about the $19 million dollars that J.K. Rowling donated to MS research. And we'll let you know where to sign up for this Thursday's Pathways to a Cure Facebook Live event.   We have a lot to talk about!

Some people living with MS may find that their attention span is shorter than it used to be, or that it takes them longer to process information. Learning directions can be hard, and decision-making may become more difficult. These are all examples of impaired cognition, or cognitive dysfunction.  Cognitive dysfunction can impact people living with relapsing-remitting MS, and it impacts almost everyone living with progressive MS.   My guest is Dr. Nancy Chiaravalloti, the Director of Neuropsychology and Neuroscience Laboratory and Traumatic Brain Injury Research at Kessler Foundation, and we're discussing Dr. Chiaravalloti's breakthrough work in improving cognitive function for people living with MS, and using MRI to actually see those improvements in the brain.       We'll also tell you about some interesting research that revealed what people living with MS consider to be their most important MS treatment goals, you'll hear about a new discovery that explains why the connection between the gut and MS might be really important, we'll talk some more about the importance of an MS Caregiver Protocol, and we'll tell you how you can participate in a new MS research study.   We have a lot to talk about!

LIVING TO THE FULLEST WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS Innovations in Cognitive Rehabilitation Research This event was recorded on Thursday, May 4, 2017 at the Kessler Foundation Conference Center, East Hanover, NJ and was edited and produced by Joan Banks-Smith of Kessler Foundation. OUR DISTINGUISHED PANEL John DeLuca, PhD, ABPP, is internationally known for his work on cognitive processing, cognitive rehabilitation, neuroimaging, and fatigue in neurological populations. He is senior vice president for Research and Training at Kessler Foundation and research professor in the departments of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Neurology at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. Dr. DeLuca serves on numerous committees for both national and international societies associated with Neuropsychology. Nancy D. Chiaravalloti, PhD, a leader in the field of cognitive rehabilitation in the US and abroad, is director of Neuropsychology, Neuroscience and Traumatic Brain Injury Research at Kessler Foundation and research professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. Her research focuses on changes in cognitive functioning in the face of neurological injury and illness and the development of treatments to ameliorate cognitive deficits, most notably in multiple sclerosis (MS). Lauren B. Strober, PhD, an expert in the field of quality of life in people with MS, is senior research scientist in the Neuropsychology and Neuroscience Laboratory at Kessler Foundation and research assistant professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. Her research focuses on secondary complications of MS: depression, fatigue, and sleep disturbance. Dr. Strober explores how factors specific to the individual, such as personality and coping skills, impact quality of life and employment. Meg Balter, RN, was diagnosed with MS nearly four decades ago when she was an active young woman just beginning her career as a registered nurse. She began participating in Kessler Foundation’s research to help advance knowledge of the disease and ways to treat it. Despite the uncertainties of living with MS, Meg lives a full and active life with her husband of more than 30 years, their three sons, and many friends. “Kessler Foundation’s MS research helps me--and others--lead a full, healthy life,” says Meg. Stephanie Buxhoeveden, MSN, FNP-C, MSCN, doesn’t allow MS to stop her from living to the fullest. With techniques learned at Kessler Foundation, she enjoys life as a nurse practitioner, wife, and MS activist. Six months after she was diagnosed, she became a Multiple Sclerosis Certified Nurse and began working in the same MS center where she is a patient. Stephanie volunteers with several MS organizations and is a TEDx speaker. PANEL MODERATOR - Steve Adubato, PhD Steve Adubato is a broadcaster, author, and motivational speaker. He is a distinguished visiting university professor at New York University, Emmy Award–winning anchor for Thirteen/WNET (PBS) and NJTV (PBS), and syndicated columnist.
