954-276-3500What Is Neuropsychology?
Neuropsychology is a branch of psychology that studies brain-behavior interactions. Neuropsychologists perform in-depth tests of brain function to:
- Confirm a diagnosis: Neuropsychologists help diagnose certain conditions. For example, dementia can be caused by degenerative changes, psychiatric conditions and blood flow issues. Neuropsychological testing can distinguish between these causes.
- Determine how well your brain is working: Doctors often want to know how brain injuries and neurological conditions affect how the brain works. Neuropsychological testing determines what functions have changed and by how much. This information provides a baseline to measure future changes and the effects of treatment or surgery.
- Inform treatment strategies: Neuropsychological testing identifies strengths and weaknesses a person may have because of a condition. The neuropsychologist may recommend treatments to help overcome daily challenges.
At Memorial Neuroscience Institute, our neuropsychologists also:
- Assist during surgery: Neuropsychologists lead patients through tests during awake craniotomy. These tests help the neurosurgeon identify brain areas that control essential functions.
- Provide psychological counseling: Neurological conditions may cause depression, anxiety and other mental health issues. Neuropsychologists provide counseling to help patients cope with these issues.
