  • Neural and Behavioral Psychology Studies
  • Spatial Neglect and Hemispheric Dysfunction
  • Hearing Impairment and Communication

Frequent co-authors in their collaborative research include Aaron L. Wong, Frank E. Garcea, Harrison Stoll, Mitchell W. Isaacs, and Scott T. Grafton.

Several publication venues are notable for hosting their work. These include bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) with 10 publications, Cortex with 8, Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair with 3, Neuropsychological Rehabilitation with 2, and Psychonomic Bulletin & Review with 1 publication.

Buxbaum has contributed to the academic literature through several recent papers:

  • What we mean when we say semantic: Toward a multidisciplinary semantic glossary, 2024, Psychonomic Bulletin & Review
  • Predictors of Arm Nonuse in Chronic Stroke: A Preliminary Investigation, 2020, Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
  • Structural Disconnection of the Tool Use Network after Left Hemisphere Stroke Predicts Limb Apraxia Severity, 2020, Cerebral Cortex Communications
  • Virtual Reality Treatment Displaying the Missing Leg Improves Phantom Limb Pain: A Small Clinical Trial, 2021, Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
  • Single-case disconnectome lesion-symptom mapping: Identifying two subtypes of limb apraxia, 2022, Neuropsychologia

In addition to journal articles, they contributed to the book The Cognitive Neurosciences, published by The MIT Press in 2020.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Studying psychology in the USA can lead to numerous online degrees and diverse career paths. Many students pursue fields such as counseling, therapy, or speech-language pathology. However, each profession requires specific licensure and qualifications, which often vary by state.

For instance, aspiring professional counselors must meet particular state guidelines. Those interested in practicing in West Virginia should review the lpc licensure requirements in West Virginia. Individuals planning to work in Wisconsin need to be aware of the lpc licensure requirements in Wisconsin, while those looking towards the mountain states should understand the Wyoming lpc licensure requirements.

Another rewarding avenue is speech-language pathology. If you wish to support people with communication disorders, you can learn more about how to become a speech language pathologist in Alabama.

When planning your degree and career, it’s crucial to research state-specific licensure details for your field. Exploring these pathways with online degrees could open doors to in-demand and fulfilling roles in mental health and human services across the country.
