| - | '''Neuropsychology''' is the basic scientific discipline that studies the structure and function of the [[brain]] related to specific psychological processes and overt behaviors. The term neuropsychology has been applied to [[Lesion|lesion studies]] in humans and animals. It has also been applied to efforts to record electrical activity from individual cells (or groups of cells) in higher primates (including some studies of human patients). It is [[scientific method|scientific]] in its approach and shares an [[information processing]] view of the mind with [[cognitive psychology]] and [[cognitive science]]. It is one of the more [[Eclecticism|eclectic]] of the psychological disciplines, overlapping at times with areas such as [[neuroscience]], [[philosophy]] (particularly [[philosophy of mind]]), [[neurology]], [[psychiatry]] and [[computer science]] (particularly by making use of [[artificial neural network]]s). | ||
| - | In practice neuropsychologists tend to work in [[academia]] (involved in basic or clinical research), clinical settings (involved in assessing or treating patients with neuropsychological problems - see [[clinical neuropsychology]]), [[forensic]] settings (often assessing people for legal reasons or court cases or working with offenders, or appearing in court as expert witness) or industry (often as consultants where neuropsychological knowledge is applied to product design or in the management of pharmaceutical clinical-trials research for drugs that might have a potential impact on CNS functioning). | + | A '''lesion''' is any damage or abnormal change in the tissue of an organism, usually caused by [[disease]] or [[Trauma (medicine)|trauma]]. ''Lesion'' is derived from the Latin ''laesio'' "injury". |
