Jerome Quellier – Predicting Patient Behavior by Brain Lesion Site

Jerome Quellier – Predicting Patient Behavior by Brain Lesion SiteDescriptionAs patients survive increasingly complex head trauma, stroke, and various encephalopathies, there is a pressing need for practitioners to have advanced knowledge of the underlying anatomical structures that mediate behavior. Understanding the roles of the frontal lobes, hippocampus, the differences between bilateral temporal lobes, and the optic system will assist the clinician in not only predicting a patient’s cognitive dysfunction, but also guide assessment and intervention. This recording is designed to quickly review gross brain anatomy and the physiological processes that mediate self-regulation, executive functions, visual perception, and memory.HandoutsManual – Predicting Patient Behavior (4.35 MB) Available after PurchaseOutlineMajor Brain LobesLocationFunctionInfluence on behavior and decision makingNeurophysiology of MemoryAnatomy and physiology of the hippocampus and the amygdalaThe paradigm of memoryEffect of fear/anger upon new learning and memoryThe Effect of Traumatic & Non-traumatic Injuries on Cognitive CentersDiffuse axonal injuryPhysiologic process of nerve healingIschemic vs hemorrhagic eventsMid to high Rancho Los Amigos Levels and associated clinical behaviorsThe Optic System & Lesions Locations that Affect Engagement & Accuracy in TherapyOutline the optic systemDysfunction to patient visual perception as it relates to therapy participationSimple environmental modifications to maximize patient performanceCase StudyFacultyJerome Quellier, MS, CCC-SLPJerome Quellier, MS, CCC-SLP, is a clinical specialist in traumatic brain injury and communication disorders at a 450+ bed Level 1 Trauma hospital in Saint Paul, MN with almost 25 years of acute, residential, and outpatient rehabilitation experience. During his tenure at the hospital he has focused on neuro-based diagnostics and intervention for dysphagia, cognitive-linguistic deficits, head and neck cancer management, patient advocacy, and curriculum development. Mr. Quellier has made a career-long study of the intricacies of neurology, completed advanced training in brain dissection at Marquette University, actively engages in staff development training, and recently joined a surgery team in preserving language function during tumor resections.In addition to his clinical practice, he has previously held a faculty position at the University of Minnesota Duluth teaching graduate level coursework, and taught undergraduate workshops as adjunct faculty at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire. Mr. Quellier is excited to bring this topic to the forefront after working with the interdisciplinary team’s challenges in understanding the “what and why” of traumatic brain injury, stroke, neurodegenerative diseases and tumor resections as they apply to behavioral changes. He graduated Cum Laude with his bachelor’s degree and graduate degree from the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire.Speaker Disclosures:Financial: Jerome Quellier has an employment relationship with Regions Hospital.
