Neuropsychologists conduct evaluations to characterize behavioral and cognitive changes resulting from central nervous system injury.

Neuropsychology is concerned with relationships between the brain and behavior.

Neuropsychological testing is routinely utilized to confirm or to rule out a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) known to affect cognitive functions. A TBI is an injury that affects how the brain works. TBI usually results from a violent blow or jolt to the head or body. Mild TBI may affect your brain cells temporarily.

TBI injuries can have wide-ranging physical and psychological effects. Some signs or symptoms. may appear immediately after the traumatic event, while others may appear days or weeks later. These objective test results are essential in accurate assessment of your post- accident cognitive injury and TBI. Then by comparing the pattern of these results with your pre- injury abilities and correlating these results with the nature of the trauma, neuropsychologist can establish and confirm or rule out a diagnosis of TBI.
