Gad E. Klein, Ph.D., is a neuropsychologist
who specializes in the cognitive aspects of various
neurological disorders including epilepsy, movement
disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, as well
as brain tumors and dementia. Dr. Klein is also an
expert in advanced neuro-imaging techniques such as
functional MRI, as well as the intracarotid amobarbital
test (Wada test) and electrocortical stimulation mapping.
These procedures enable accurate brain localization
of motor and sensory function, as well as higher-order
cognitive functions such as language and memory in
order to minimize post-surgical functional deficits
in patients undergoing brain surgery.
Dr. Klein received
his undergraduate degree in psychology from Yeshiva
University in New York, NY. He received his doctorate
in neuropsychology from the CUNY Graduate Center and
went on to complete an internship in clinical neuropsychology
at the North Shore-LIJ Health System. Following this
he completed a two year postdoctoral fellowship at
the LIJ Epilepsy Center focusing on the neuropsychological
aspects of epilepsy and functional neurosurgery. During
this period he also received advanced training in
functional neuro-imaging at the Martinos Center for
Biomedical Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital
in Boston.
Dr. Klein has conducted research studies exploring
the use of functional MRI for localization of language
function in the brain and to help find biomarkers
of affective disorders in patients with epilepsy and
depression. He has published numerous articles in
peer reviewed journals in both cognitive and molecular
neuroscience. Dr. Klein is a member of the International
Neuropsychological Society, American Psychological
Association - Neuropsychology Division, American Epilepsy
Society, and
Society for Neuroscience.
