Clinical Neuropsychology Service
Description: Clinical neuropsychology deals with the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral consequences of brain damage, consequences that can significantly limit the academic, professional, and social lives of those who experience them.

These individuals may experience memory loss, impaired language comprehension or expression, generalized cognitive slowing, difficulty organizing and planning their behavior, increased irritability, aggressive behavior, or apathy, among other effects.
