Overview

Jeffrey Motter, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychology (in Psychiatry) at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and Research Scientist at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. His research is conducted at the Memory Disorders Clinic within the Division of Geriatric Psychiatry.

 

Dr. Motter’s research has centered on affective disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and the interplay between these conditions. More recently, his work has concentrated on defining the neural substrates of olfaction within Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and determining the utility of olfaction as an early risk factor for dementia incidence and mortality. He was awarded the Robert Katzman, MD Clinical Research Training Scholarship in Alzheimer’s and Dementia Research’ from the American Academy of Neurology, Alzheimer’s Association, and American Brain Foundation. He is Principal Investigator of a K23 award funded by the National Institute on Aging aimed at investigating odor memory across stages of Alzheimer’s disease using newly designed fMRI-compatible odor recognition tests.

 

Dr. Motter completed his undergraduate degree at Pennsylvania State University, his graduate training in clinical psychology at The Graduate Center, City University of New York, and his internship in clinical neuropsychology at John D. Dingell Veterans Affairs Medical Center. He completed his postdoctoral training in late life neuropsychiatric disorders at Columbia University. Dr. Motter is a licensed clinical psychologist in New York State, specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy for treatment of anxiety and depression as well as neuropsychological evaluation of memory disorders.
