Paul Nestor is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Massachusetts Boston. His research integrates clinical neuropsychology, forensic psychology, and cognitive neuroscience, with a focus on attention, memory, and decision-making in schizophrenia and substance abuse, as well as interpersonal violence in relation to mental disorders.
- Education: PhD in Psychology from the Catholic University of America.
His work utilizes neuroimaging techniques (e.g., MRI, fMRI, diffusion tensor imaging) to explore brain-behavior relationships in chronic schizophrenia. Key themes include attentional networks, semantic memory, and the role of brain structures like the cingulum bundle and fusiform gyrus in symptom manifestation.
Recent publications highlight his contributions to understanding cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia through functional and structural neuroimaging. He also investigates the interplay between psychosis, personality traits, and violent behavior, particularly in forensic contexts.
