Dr. Storzbach is a Clinical Research Psychologist and Head of the Neuropsychology Section at the Portland VA Medical Center (PVAMC) and a Postdoctoral Fellow at CROET in the Behavioral and Psychological Assessment Laboratory. He received his doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and received his postdoctoral training in clinical neuropsychology at the PVAMC. His clinical research background primarily is in the assessment and treatment of neuropsychological dysfunction in various clinically impaired populations. The main focus of his research work at CROET has been consultation, planning, and execution of epidemiologic field research investigating possible neuropsychological effects of various toxic exposures of such groups as Gulf War veterans, orchard workers, and migrant workers and families. Dr. Storzbach has additionally participated in the development and validation of computerized assessment systems, including the Behavioral Assessment and Research System (BARS), a computerized test system for use in toxicology research, and the Health Screening System (HSS), a computerized questionnaire system (http://home.comcast.net/~neta-lo/ ). He has recently become increasingly involved in piloting and planning for implementation of additional neuroscientific technologies such as EEG and MRI in behavioral neurotoxicology research at CROET.

My clinical research background is primarily in the assessment and treatment of neuropsychological dysfunction in various clinically impaired populations. The main focus of my research work at CROET is the consultation, planning and execution of epidemiologic field research investigating possible neuropsychological effects of various toxic exposures on such groups as Persian Gulf War veterans, orchard workers, and migrant workers and families. I participated in the development and validation of computerized assessment systems, including the Behavioral Assessment and Research System (BARS), a computerized test system for use in toxicology research, and the Health Screening System (HSS), a computerized questionnaire system. I am also involved in the planning and implementation of additional neuroscientific technologies such as EEG and MRI in behavioral neurotoxicology research at CROET, and neuropsychological research at the Portland VA Medical Center.
