Brandon Ally, Ph.D.Assistant Professor of Neurology Phone:
781.687.3069
Fax: 781.687.3366 Email: bally@bu.edu Location: Bldg. 62, Rm B31, Bedford VA Hospital Webpage: http://people.bu.edu/bally/ BackgroundDr. Brandon Ally received his bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Tennessee. He received his M.A. and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Southern Mississippi. From there, Dr. Ally completed his predoctoral residency and clinical postdoctoral fellowship in geriatric neuropsychology at the Harvard Medical School / Boston VA GRECC and Geriatric Neuropsychology Laboratory. He then went on to complete a 3-year NIH sponsored postdoctoral research fellowship in cognitive neuroscience at the Boston University School of Medicine's Department of Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease Center (ADC). Dr. Ally has been at the ADC since September of 2005. Research InterestsDr. Ally's research interests include understanding how memory breaks down in healthy and diseased aging. Past projects have focused on behavioral and neurophysiological correlates of recognition memory in healthy older adults, patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), patients with Alzheimer's disease, and individuals at risk for Alzheimer's disease. His current research is working to better understand the neurophysiology of encoding and retrieval of episodic memory in healthy older adults and patients with Alzheimer's disease. ADC roleDr. Ally’s memory and aging lab is located in the Center for Translational Cognitive Neuroscience at the Bedford VA site of the BU ADC. He also is a staff neuropsychologist at the Bedford VA. Awards/MembershipsIn addition to being awarded a Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award from the National Institutes of Health to complete an advanced postdoctoral research fellowship, Dr. Ally was recently awarded a 5-year Patient-Oriented Career Development Award from the National Institution on Aging to examine memory for pictures in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Ally was also recently awarded the 2008 Laird Cermak Award from the Massachusetts Neuropsychological Society for his work in human memory. He is a member of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society, the International Neuropsychological Society, and the Association for Psychological Science. He also participates in the Charles River Association for Memory in the greater Boston area.
