| Abstract | Neuropsychology, which explores the relationship between brain lesions and cognitive deficits and the relationship among cognitive deficits through observation of the brain injured, is the oldest discipline in neuroscience aiming to elucidate the brain function. As well as the neuroscientific aim, it has a practical goal to establish the medical management of cognitive disorders. In recent vast development in the field of neuroscience and clinical medicine, neuropsychology would not stand still. In this paper, reviewing the researches I was involved in, I discuss the aims, topics, and methodology in current and near future neuropsychological studies. |
