• Rao's ["Neuropsychology of Multiple Sclerosis: A Critical Review," A Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology, Vol. 85, pp. 503-542] (1986) seminal review, considerable research has been undertaken on the neuropsychological consequences of multiple sclerosis [3].

Psychiatry related information on Neuropsychology

• The present study aimed to ascertain the neuroanatomical basis of an influential neuropsychological model for upper limb apraxia [Rothi LJ, et al. The Neuropsychology of Action. 1997. Hove, UK: Psychology Press] [4].
• It is suggested that stimulus length effect results are compatible with the Halligan and Marshall [Halligan, P., and Marshall, J. Toward a principled explanation of unilateral neglect. Cognitive Neuropsychology, 1994, 11, 167-206] model of hemispatial neglect [5].
• Neuropsychology tests included: subtests of the WAIS-R, Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Task, Rey Figure and the Austin Maze [6].
• The key role of emotion in complex decision-making is commonly assessed using the Iowa Gambling Task, and has recently been a substantial research topic in neuropsychology [7].
• The neuropsychology of frontal variant frontotemporal dementia and semantic dementia. Introduction to the special topic papers: Part II [8].

High impact information on Neuropsychology

• Neuropsychology. Is dopamine a missing link [9]?
• The present paper deals with the contribution of neuropsychology to the characterization of the type of epilepsy and the possible mechanisms underlying idiopathic epileptic syndromes [10].
• Difficulties with EF appear to be one important component of the complex neuropsychology of ADHD [11].
• MEASUREMENTS: The effects of nicotine treatment were determined with the clinical global impressions questionnaire, Conners' Continuous Performance test, and the automated neuropsychologic assessment metrics (ANAM) computerized neuropsychology battery [12].
• OBJECTIVE: The present study examined the effects of acute dietary depletion of tryptophan (TRP) on cognitive and affective processing in healthy volunteers and explored the putative role of 5-HT in the neuropsychology of depression [13].

Biological context of Neuropsychology

• The effects of sex steroids, and the X chromosome, on female brain function: a study of the neuropsychology of adult Turner syndrome [14].
• Advances in the related fields of cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology offer intriguing reformulations of the clinical entities of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and learning disabilities (LD) [15].

Anatomical context of Neuropsychology

• The paper begins with a brief review of cisplatin treatment in terms other than survival alone, and examines the side-effects and the potential central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction in terms of neurological symptoms and concomitant implications for neuropsychology [16].
• Quantitative neuropsychology, EEG, routine cerebrospinal fluid and other laboratory investigations, including serum glucose and plasma lipids, seem to be less valuable [17].

Associations of Neuropsychology with chemical compounds

• Invasive testing is needed if there is evidence of bitemporal MTS on structural imaging and/or electrophysiologically, and additional information from functional imaging, neuropsychology, and the intracarotid amobarbital (Wada) test also does not help to lateralize the epileptogenic zone [18].
• Neuropsychology of thallium poisoning [19].
• Two main implications for clinical neuropsychology arising from cisplatin therapy are identified [16].
• The evolution of neuropsychology into a method for neurotoxic damage detection is reviewed [20].
• The unique contribution of neuropsychology, which includes standard neuropsychological assessment and intracarotid sodium amytal (Wada) testing, is its capability to predict lateralization and often localization of a brain lesion based on cognitive function and dysfunction, which can be demonstrated also in the absence of a structural lesion [21].

Gene context of Neuropsychology

• The ASN immunoreactivity correlated with CERAD diagnosis, as well as Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) score, global neuropsychologic z-score and some, but not all, frontal neuropsychology measures [22].
• Results are discussed in terms of the implications for the utility of ERP measures in clinical neuropsychology [23].
• These findings are consistent with the underlying neuropsychology of these tasks, and suggest that Category Fluency's stronger association to the most typical CBF deficits of AD account for its greater sensitivity to this disease [24].
• The neuropsychology of REM sleep dreaming [25].
• This article provides an introduction to the Special Section on Long-Term Spatial Memory in the journal Neuropsychology. It defines long-term spatial memory, explores how it has been considered historically, and provides brief descriptions of the principle cognitive mechanisms, with a guide to the terminology used in this field [26].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Neuropsychology

• METHODS: The neuropsychology findings of 79 patients undergoing epilepsy surgery were examined from assessments made before, 2 months after, and 1 year after anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) was performed [27].
• The paper discusses the application of fMRI in combination with neuropsychology to neurodevelopmental psychiatric disorders, exemplified on the case of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in comparison with schizophrenia [28].
