Join us on March 31, 2026 for a powerful new webinar from the Luria Neuroscience Institute:
“Memory-Based Learning Disabilities: A Common Syndrome Without a Pigeonhole”

This 3-hour webinar explores the clinical picture, memory mechanisms, diagnostic challenges, and practical implications of memory-based learning disabilities—a common but often under-recognized syndrome that does not fit neatly into existing labels.

Topics include:
• the “everyday clinical puzzle” and hallmark learning pattern
• rapid long-term forgetting and weak transfer across subjects
• limits of DSM-5 and ICD-11 domain-based classifications
• declarative vs non-declarative memory and why procedural skills may remain strong
• hippocampal and hippocampal-temporal network involvement in consolidation
• CA1 vulnerability, pattern separation, and pattern completion
• neuropsychological signs, including impaired delayed recall despite normal immediate span
• accelerated forgetting protocols and why longer-delay testing matters
• etiologic pathways affecting hippocampal networks, and when EEG becomes relevant

Presented by Elkhonon Goldberg, Ph.D., ABPP, renowned clinical neuropsychologist, cognitive neuroscientist, and bestselling author.

Join us on March 31, 2026 for a special webinar from the Luria Neuroscience Institute:
“Memory-Based Learning Disabilities: A Common Syndrome Without a Pigeonhole”

This important 3-hour webinar explores a common yet often overlooked syndrome in which children with average or above-average intelligence struggle to consolidate and retain new academic material over time, despite intact phonological skills and adequate attention in low-memory-demand settings.

Led by Elkhonon Goldberg, Ph.D., ABPP, internationally recognized clinical neuropsychologist, cognitive neuroscientist, and bestselling author, this webinar will examine:

• why memory-based learning disabilities are frequently missed in current diagnostic systems
• the role of hippocampal-dependent declarative memory in learning
• how this profile differs from ADHD, dyslexia, and intellectual disability
• practical approaches to assessment, diagnosis, and intervention at school and at home

Dr. Goldberg’s books have been translated into 24 languages, and his work has helped shape the modern understanding of brain-behavior relationships.

This webinar is ideal for clinicians, educators, and parents seeking a deeper understanding of children whose learning challenges do not fit neatly into existing categories.

Join Luria Neuroscience Institute for a 3-part on-demand webinar series on Autism Spectrum Disorder

We are pleased to present a special on-demand webinar series on Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), led by Elkhonon Goldberg, Ph.D., ABPP — clinical neuropsychologist, cognitive neuroscientist, Diplomate of The American Board of Professional Psychology in Clinical Neuropsychology, and bestselling author whose acclaimed books have been translated into 24 languages.

Each webinar is 3 hours and offers an in-depth exploration of today’s most important clinical and scientific perspectives on autism.

Webinar 1:
Autism Spectrum Disorder: Causes, Neurobiological Mechanisms and Controversies
A comprehensive look at the genetic foundations of ASD, neurobiological mechanisms, environmental risk factors, and the major controversies shaping current research and clinical thinking.

Webinar 2:
Autism Spectrum Disorder: Neurocognitive Characteristics, Assessment and Therapies
An overview of neurocognitive features, diagnostic assessment, differential diagnosis, neuropsychological profiles, intervention models, and key ethical and neurodiversity-related considerations.

Webinar 3:
AUTISM BEYOND THE CHECKLIST: Phenotypes, Mimics, and Debates Shaping 2026
A deeper examination of diagnostic complexity, autism phenotypes, mimics, “ASD-plus” patterns, and the debates influencing autism discourse and practice in 2026.

This series is designed for professionals seeking a deeper, more nuanced understanding of autism across biology, cognition, diagnosis, and clinical decision-making.

New Webinar “AUTISM BEYOND THE CHECKLIST: Phenotypes, Mimics, and Debates Shaping 2026” on March 19, 1 pm to 4 pm Eastern Time

Topics:
Diagnostic complexities in ASD, why an autism label can be “correct but incomplete”.
Clinical foundations of phenocopy logic, ASD as a “final common pathway”.
Diagnostic overshadowing in neuropsychology and its impact on case conceptualization.
Shifting from behavioral description to causal understanding.
Distinguishing primary vs secondary autistic features.
The “social brain” network and how secondary insults can reshape presentation.
Sensory dysregulation as a secondary feature.
Macrocephaly and ASD, clinical significance and when to worry.
The role of neuroimaging in clinical practice.
Association vs causation, how to avoid over-reading correlations.
Neurological mimics and lesion-based examples, including hydrocephalus mechanisms, agenesis of the corpus callosum, and temporal lobe cysts.
Mapping the genetic landscape of secondary ASD, including TSC and the “double hit” model, Prader-Willi syndrome overlap, FASD, 22q11.2 deletion, and Fragile X comparisons.
Regression-focused clinical reasoning, including “the EEG trigger”.
Neurobiological causation controversies and public narratives, including vaccines, how to communicate safety without conflict, and the impact of social media on perceptions.
