Paul Newhouse, M.D., Director Dr. Newhouse on Across The Fence discussing new Alzheimer’s Disease Medication Research Study

The Clinical Neuroscience Research Unit (CNRU) is part of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Vermont College of Medicine and Fletcher Allen Health Care. The research of the CNRU is focused on clinical research studies of two basic types:

• Studies that investigate the biological mechanisms that underlie changes that occur in cognitive functioning associated with normal aging. We are particularly interested in gender-related differences with a focus on the older women. We also study cognitive impairment that is secondary to the development of complex neuro-psychiatric disorders. Of particular interest are those disorders that have a behavioral and cognitive component, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, as well as neuro-developmental disorders such as Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
• Clinical therapeutic trials of investigational medications for the treatment of behavioral and cognitive symptoms of neuropsychiatric disorders such as Depression, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and panic disorder.
