League Nashville Predators , will speak Wednesday, January 25, 2006, on
"Odor Identification Deficits in Alzheimer's Disease."

        The campus address, will be held in the UTC University Center's
Raccoon Room, room 269, from 12:00 p.m to 2:00 p.m. 

        In addition to being the staff neuropsychologist for the Predators,
Dr. Solomon is a consulting neuropsychologist for the National Football
League Tennessee Titans.
        
His dissertation was on brain injuries and he has treated patients with
brain injuries for more than 20 years. A diplomate certified by American
Board of Professional Neuropsychology, he is also a fellow of the American
Neuropsychiatric Association and the International Neuropsychological
Society.

        Dr. Solomon has received several grants including the Aricept
Medical Grants Committee of Pfizer, Inc., and Eisai, Inc., to do further
studies on the Pocket Smell Test (PST), a convenient screening tool that
Solomon and his co-investigators have found helps separate patients with
depression from those with Alzheimer's. According to research, a loss of
smell occurs early in Alzheimer's disease

Cancer is so limited that:
It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirit (Dedicated to My Father)
