Dr. Caleb Pearson is an associate professor in the departments of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry at the University of Kansas Medical Center. He is also the director of the Human Brain Mapping Program at the University of Kansas Health System and the chief of Epilepsy Neuropsychology. His work primarily includes pre-surgical risk stratification for patients suffering from epilepsy and brain tumors, as well as the use of functional MRI and tractography in neurosurgery. Dr. Ecklund-Johnson is a clinical neuropsychologist in the neuropsychology department at the University of Kansas Hospital and Associate Clinical Professor in the KUMC departments of Neurology and Psychiatry. He is board certified in clinical neuropsychology through the American Board of Professional Psychology and his clinical and research work has focused on cognitive assessment of surgical and non-surgical patients with known or suspected neurological problems including Parkinson's disease, other movement disorders, brain tumors, memory disorders, and traumatic brain injury, among other conditions.Dr. Gale is a Professor at Brigham Young University. His research interests are largely centered in the field of neuropsychology, which is the study of brain-behavior relationships. He utilizes clinical and research techniques, including neurocognitive assessment and neuroimaging, as well as neuroepidemiological techniques, to investigate neurocognitive outcomes in various neurologic disorders including traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, and dementia. More recently, He has become increasingly interested in the potential negative effects of (latent) infectious disease on neurocognitive functions and psychiatric illness.
