Paul Eslinger, PhD, MS

Dr. Paul Eslinger is a clinical neuropsychologist and neuroscientist who utilizes and applies a variety of converging methods (behavioral, cognitive, clinical, fMRI) to detect, differentiate, characterize and relate neurocognitive impairments to diseases of the brain. His research interests have centered on the frontal lobe and its mediation of executive function, social behavior and human adaptation. This has been applied particularly to conditions of frontal lobe stroke and tumor in children and adults, Parkinson’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, traumatic brain injury and Alzheimer’s disease. As part of this work, rehabilitative approaches are being developed that tap cognitive-behavioral as well as medication interventions.

Dr. Eslinger has collaborated in numerous NIH-, NSF- and private-foundation-funded projects and served on study sections for the NIH, VA and private funding agencies. He has edited/co-edited textbooks on neurocognitive interventions and the practice of behavioral neurology and neuropsychology. In addition, he has published peer-reviewed reports, book chapters and invited commentaries and provided master classes and lectures at numerous universities.
