Neuropsychology is a leading branch of brain science aims at understanding the relations between brain processes and mechanisms on one hand, and cognition and behavioral control on the other. It plays a critical role in rehabilitation as many medical problems may improve shortly after brain injuries yet cognitive and emotional changes can continue to interfere with activities. After a brain injury , many important skills like memory, critical thinking and judgment can be affected. Every brain injury is different and can result in a range of symptoms that have a unique impact on the individual and their family. What is a brain injury? A brain injury or ' Traumatic Brain Injury ' can be defined as the damage to living brain tissue that is initially caused by external mechanical forces. Whatever the cause, a brain injury can result in an impairment of cognitive abilities or physical functioning and also in the disturbance of behavioral or emotio...

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a disease affected the nervous system. It is thought to be caused by an autoimmune reaction. This means it cause body's immune system to attack its own tissues. This disease starts when the immune system attacks and damages something called myelin . That’s a layer of insulation that surrounds nerves. It also helps nerves transmit their messages. Usually, weakness begins in both legs and moves up the body. GBS damages the peripheral nervous system . That’s the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. They help the central nervous system communicate with the rest of your body, including the skin, heart, and muscles. GBS often starts a few days or weeks after an infection like the cold or flu. People with this syndrome are hospitalized immediately because symptoms can worsen rapidly. Immune globulin given intravenously or plasma exchange speeds recovery. Signs and symptoms Guillain-Barre syndrome often begins with tingling a...

Injuries occur to the brain, skull, and scalp are refered as brain injury . Complications and required treatments will greatly depend on the location of the injury, how the injury is acquired,and the severity of the brain damage. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is an injury to the brain caused by a trauma to the head. There are many possible causes, including road traffic accidents, falls, assaults and accidents at home or at work. Types of Traumatic Brain Injury There are four main types of TBIs. They are concussion, contusion, penetrating injury, and anoxic brain injury. Concussions A concussion is a minor brain injury that is caused by shaking, a sudden change in movement, like whiplash or   an impact to the head. It can cause headaches, memory loss, problems with concentration and disorientation.They should considered as serious and should be treated as soon as possible. Contusion Just like have a bruise on the skin, a brain contusion is a br...

The brain is complex. Disorders within the brain and nervous system can change behavior and cognitive function. Neuropsychology is the study of relationships of brain–behavior. On theoretical basis it aims at understanding the relationships between the brain, on the one side and the mind and behavioral control, on the other. It is a complex field of study, relating various fields like neurology, psychology, psychiatry, clinical neurosciences, physiology and statistics.  In the majority of psychiatric disorders focal brain lesions are rare. The real challenge of neuropsychology in relation to psychiatry is to understand abnormal behavior in terms of dysfunctional processing of information. This is related to abnormally functioning brain systems than to localized brain damage.   Neuropsychology has led to the advanced study of psychiatric disorder over past decades. It is now seen as an essential discipline for the study of psychiatric disorder. This improvem...

Physical therapy is very important for patients who have neurological injuries or illnesses.Without physical therapy patients may be unable to perform certain activities, may lose their independence, or may lose many functions.
