Neuropsychology focuses on the mind and how the brain and the nervous system are connected and affect our daily behaviors. A neuropsychologist can help diagnose a behavioral or neurological condition.
Neurology is the study of the brain and nervous system while neuropsychology is the study of the mind and how the brain works with behavior.
Neuropsychological testing is used to test how parts of the brain are working and can give more insight into how the brain functions including memory, attention and problem-solving skills. These tests are usually done with brain scans including an MRI or CT scan. Banner Brain & Spine provides neuropsychology exams and testing to help determine treatments for brain injuries and illnesses. Within these assessments, we look at memory and thinking, conduct testing before and after certain neurosurgeries and take the insights we’ve learned during this testing to help in the recovery period.
