Scott R Sponheim

I work as a Staff Psychologist at the Minneapolis VA and a Professor at the University of Minnesota. I carry out family studies of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder to determine how the brain is made vulnerable to psychosis and mood dysregulation. I also conduct funded research into traumatic stress syndromes from blast-related brain injury. I use EEG and brain imaging methods to characterize functional brain abnormalities, as well as cognitive, genetic, and dimensional clinical indices.
