Neuropsychology focuses on identifying the neuro-anatomical sources in the brain of cognitive, emotional, or behavioral function. As such, it can identify the course of change in function that follows a neurological trauma or condition. A neuropsychologist would generally seek natural and non-invasive ways to foster recovery and improvement, or even peak performance, in those who are struggling with effects on their performance.
