Leonard F. Koziol l Deborah Ely Budding 2009 Implications for Neuropsychological Assessment Most clinical neuropsychologists are taught a cortico-centric model of cognition. From this viewpoint, the neocortex is considered to play the most important role in generating human thinking and behavior.

Vinoth Jagaroo 2009 The idea for this book was conceived over many years and through many influences. The fields of neuropsychology, general neuroscience, and information technology were certainly among the main influences. It was in particular an unusual context in which I was on the one hand exposed to academic and clinical neuropsychology and on the other to information […]
