Neuropsychological research

Warren Brown is involved in experimental neuropsychological research related to functions of the corpus callosum of the brain and its relationship to higher cognitive processes in humans. In particular, he has been studying the implications of agenesis of the corpus callosum (i.e., congenital absence of the corpus callosum, the pathway that connects the right and left hemispheres). Brown has been interested in the implications of this disorder for mental abilities and social awareness. Over the last 15 years his lab has conducted the largest study accomplished thus far (both in number of subjects and depth of testing) on cognitive and social disabilities of individuals with agenesis of the corpus callosum.[4] He has authored or coauthored over 75 scholarly articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals; 15 chapters in edited scholarly books; and over 120 presentations at scientific meetings.[5]
