Mario Dulay is a neuropsychologist at Houston Methodist Neurological Institute and Director of The Houston Institute for Neuropsychological Knowledge (THINK) laboratory that studies the neurobiological basis of human behavior using neuropsychological, neuroimaging, neurophysiological, and sensory psychophysical methods to better understand the impact of disease on the brain. Collaborating with physicians within the Houston Methodist Neurological Institute, the lab studies various patient populations to understand the interrelationships among neurocognition, emotion, and biology as a function of disease progression or recovery from neurotrauma. Recent research has focused on study of cognitive rehabilitation and neuropsychotherapy interventions in individuals with neurodegenerative diseases or after brain injury or neurosurgery. The primary goals are to identify predictors of cognitive and emotional decline and develop rehabilitation models to minimize these declines after neurosurgery or neurotrauma.
