Curriculum Vitae
Clinical Practice
Dr. Filley is Director of the Behavioral Neurology Section and the author of the textbook Neurobehavioral Anatomy, now in its second edition. Since 2006 he has served as Interim Director of the Alzheimer’s Disease and Cognition Center (ADCC), and in this capacity oversees research projects on functional MRI of normal cognition, early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease using functional MRI, and diffusion tensor imaging studies of fragile X tremor ataxia syndrome. He also participates in federally funded research on cognitive impairment in systemic lupus erythematosus. A unifying theme of Dr. Filley's research is the behavioral neurology of white matter, including neurologic, psychiatric, neuropsychological, neuroimaging, and neuropathological aspects of a wide variety of white matter disorders. He has formally proposed the concept of "white matter dementia" to call attention to cognitive dysfunction attributable to white matter involvement, described in his second book The Behavioral Neurology of White Matter.
