We will soon begin repaving the main driveway outside the Yawkey, Menino, and Moakley buildings. Weather permitting, driveway closures are scheduled for the following weekends, from Friday at 8 p.m. through Sunday at 8 p.m., on the following dates: Sept. 19-21, Sept. 26-28, Oct. 17-19, and Oct. 24-26. 

Access Changes During Construction:

Pedestrian Access: Patients and visitors will be able to enter Moakley through the entrance on East Concord Street.    

Vehicle Access: Vehicular traffic should use the designated drop-off and pick-up area on East Concord Street or the 710 Albany Street Garage. Signage will indicate where metered parking has been blocked off to create a drop-off/pick-up zone (on E. Concord between Harrison and the Moakley side entrance).

Wada Testing

With a Wada test, your doctor can look at how important each side of your brain is for language and memory. During the test, your doctor will anesthetize one half of your brain and have you go through a series of exercises to test your speech and memory. Then they'll repeat the test on the other side of the brain and compare the results from each brain half.

This test will help your doctor plan your epilepsy surgery so they can stop your seizures while making sure you're able to keep as much speech and memory functioning as possible.
