Infectious Diseases in Neurocognitive and Neuropsychiatric Medicine

Dawson W. Hedges is a Professor of Psychology at Brigham Young University. His research interests include the associations between environmental exposures and infectious diseases with neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric outcomes. Shawn D. Gale is a Professor of Psychology at Brigham Young University. He was trained as a clinical neuropsychologist and worked in clinical settings for many years. His centre on brain-behaviour relationships including the neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric effects of infectious disease. Lance D. Erickson is a Professor of Sociology at Brigham Young University. His research focuses on the early- and mid-life social and psychological correlates of cognitive functioning in later-life and how social locations are implicated in the relationship between infection and neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric outcomes.
