Neuropsychology
Neuropsychology is concerned with how an individual's cognition and behavior are associated with the brain and the rest of the nervous system. Neuropsychologists often focus on how injuries or illnesses of the brain affect cognitive and behavioral functions.
It is both an experimental and clinical field of psychology, thus understanding how behavior and cognition are influenced by brain function and concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of behavioral and cognitive effects of neurological disorders. While classical neurology focuses on the pathology of the nervous system and is largely divorced from it, neuropsychology seeks to discover how the brain correlates with the mind through the study of neurological patients. Thus it shares concepts and concerns with neuropsychiatry and with behavioral neurology in general. The term neuropsychology has been applied to lesion studies in humans and animals and has also been applied in efforts to record electrical activity from individual cells in higher primates.
