Notă biografică
John Bellone is a clinical neuropsychologist in a group practice in Southern California and is a member of multiple neuropsychological organizations. Although his clinical interests are broad, he is particularly passionate about reducing risk for cognitive decline and improving overall health through lifestyle modification. He frequently lectures on the power that exercise, healthy diet, quality sleep, psychological well-being, and staying cognitively and socially active have on maintaining/improving cognitive functioning both now and as we age.
Ryan Van Patten works in the field of neuropsychology at Massachusetts General Hospital, Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, and Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA. His research and clinical interests include cognitive aging, neurodegenerative diseases, traumatic brain injury, stroke, severe mental illness, cognitive interventions, and innovative assessment methods. He is also interested in the education, mentoring, and teaching of neuropsychological trainees.
Drs. Bellone and Van Patten are the co-creators and co-hosts of the podcast, Navigating Neuropsychology, where they provide relevant educational content to students, trainees, and professionals by interviewing experts and discussing a variety of topics within neuropsychology.
