Neuropsychology: Links, Resources, and Discussion

r/Neuropsychology

Neuropsychology is both an experimental and clinical branch of psychology that aims to understand how cognitive functions (memory, attention, etc.) and behavior are related to brain structure and functioning. Although the focus is typically on how injuries or illnesses of the brain (i.e., pathological functions) affect cognition and behavior, it also includes the study normal (i.e., non-pathological) functioning, cognition, and behavior.

Information about neuropsychology, neuroanatomy, neurodevelopment, studying neuropsychology, being a neuropsychologist, and related topics. Full-text articles and well-written science journalism write-ups of recent papers are especially encouraged, but of course questions, comments, and general musings are welcome!

Please note: General questions about a personal experience you are having are allowed in this subreddit (e.g., "Can anyone explain the functional neuroanatomy behind this random and benign thing that I do?"), but if you need medical advice, please go see a medical professional. Posts that are clearly seeking medical advice about a medical problem will be removed. The advice of internet strangers -- even if they are neuropsychologists! -- is no substitute for professional health care.

Please also note: A basic wiki page for this subreddit has been created. If you have questions about what a neuropsychologist is/does, the steps to becoming a neuropsychologist, or where you can get resources to assist you at any stage of training/practice, check it out!
