Preface

When we speak of neuropsychology we are talking about one of the branches that has experienced the most growth in the past few years since it makes use of the advances of both psychology and neuroscience.

The field of neuropsychology embraces theoretical aspects as well as those in practice regarding disorders and traumas.

This is a field that is ever more in demand due to the great benefits that it offers to patients.

Chapter 1 Neural Foundations of the Brain

Neuropsychology arises from the union of two branches of study, psychology and medicine, their subject of study being psychological processes, memory, attention, and language, how these develop with age and whether they are altered by developmental disorders and problems associated with traumas, illness or old age.

Regarding the brain, it is important to understand its neural foundations, especially in regards to the psychological capabilities that neuropsychology deals with.

Anatomically, the cerebral cortex is divided by the central sulcus, which leaves the right hemisphere to one side and the left to the other side. Below both of these is found the diencephalon which are interior structures (the thalamus, subthalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus, metathalamus and third ventricle) which connects to the brain stem (midbrain, pons, and the medulla oblongata).

On the other hand, the hemispheres may be divided in, frontal lobe (located in the front part of the brain), parietal lobe (behind the frontal lobe, above the temporal lobe and in front of the occipital lobe), temporal lobe (beneath the middle part of the cortex, right behind the temples), and the occipital lobe (situated in the front part of the brain).

The frontal lobe is associated with executive functions, that is, the ability to organize, make decisions and supervise them. It is where we receive all information, process it and proceed from there. Injury to this structure causes irregular behavior, lack of sexual inhibition, and increase in risky behavior.

The parietal lobe is the center of sensory information and plays an important role in language. If injured it can cause dyscalculia (problems with math), dyslexia (problems with language), aphasia (problems with pronunciation), apraxia (problems with movement), and agnosia (problems of recognition).

The temporal lobe, involved in the processes of language related to auditory processing also plays a part in the processing of complex images. Furthermore, it plays a part in the processes of long-term memory consolidation. Injury will cause dyslexia, aphasia and verbal memory impairment.

The occipital lobe is the visual processing center. This is where all the information perceived by sight through the optic nerves goes. Injury to this area causes recognition problems and in the processing of captured images. The localization of areas such as attention, language,
