Neuropsychology

Neuropsychology is the study and research of the behavioral side of the brain that follows a event of trauma or a brain condition. It focuses on experiments and clinical research to helps to diagnose and treat the effects of neurological disorders. It is quite a new branch in psychology, as it was officially recognized as a branch in the 1980s, after being published by the company Kolb And Whishaw, though the original concept can be traced back to Ancient Egypt. The ways of getting the research for the final diagnosis are large, such as through brain scans, electrophysiology and an MRI machine. Although neuropsychology is mainly focused on the human anatomy, it also spreads to many parts of the anatomy of animals and unidentified creatures. There is also the term of classical neurology, which focuses on the effects of disease and injury in the nervous system.
