    Caring for the Mind

    Injuries, inherited conditions and brain diseases can affect how people feel and act, and how they process information. Clinical neuropsychologists are psychologists with special training on understanding how the physical brain affects daily living skills.

    In the Sutter Health network, more than two dozen neuropsychologists help patients with brain trauma, stroke, movement disorders, genetic disorders, dementia and other conditions. Experts evaluate cognitive and emotional strengths and weaknesses, counsel families, develop and carry out treatment plans and assess progress. Here are some of the services we provide.

    Assessments

    Neuropsychologists use a variety of assessment tools to meet the needs of individual patients. They use standardized tests to assess attention, memory, language, academic skills, reasoning, perception, visual-spatial ability and fine motor skills. They may also use tests to understand a patient’s emotional style, personality, moods and other aspects of a person’s approach to life.

    Neuropsychologists also reassess patients receiving treatments and compare results against earlier tests to determine progress. For patients with chronic or degenerative conditions, neuropsychologists may repeat tests and perform new ones to help patients, families and medical teams understand any changes taking place.

    Consultations

    Neuropsychologists analyze assessment information to create evaluation reports on patients’ neuropsychological strengths and weaknesses. Evaluations may be limited to one area, such as memory loss, or involve all aspects of a person’s neuropsychological abilities, as with patients in one of our acute inpatient rehabilitation centers.

    Communicating assessment results and discussing next steps is an important aspect of our neuropsychologists’ role. They meet with the patient and/or the patient’s loved ones to discuss the evaluation results, what the findings mean and next steps. They also consult with doctors and other members of a patient’s care team to help determine the best course of care.

    Treatments

    Neuropsychologists work with doctors, therapists and other healthcare professionals to design effective therapy plans and monitor progress. This team-based approach uses methods such as brain games and cognitive exercises. Treatment can include:

    • Exercises to improve memory, reasoning, visual-spatial perception, fine motor skills and other skills
    • Computer and video games
    • Relaxation training
    • Creative therapies, such as music and art

    Alzheimer's Disease Research

    Sutter Health Alzheimer's Disease Research
    Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, eventually leaving the person without the ability to carry out the simplest tasks of daily living. Estimates vary, but experts suggest that as many as 5 million Americans age 65 and older have Alzheimer's disease. Research works on ways to improve diagnosis and care for Alzheimer’s disease patients, as well as focusing on a way to cure and possibly prevent it.
