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. This book departs from that view by additionally considering subcortical contributions to cognition. Our focus concerns subcortical structures that have traditionally been considered only as co-processors of movement.
