The Field of Neuropsychology in Medical Science

The medical science has been subdivided into many categories and divisions which separately deal with the various organ systems. For example Neuropsychology is the sub-specialty study of medicine which deals with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders pertaining to psychological and nervous systems.
The human body is full of complex networking of nerves, muscles, organs and bones. The function of one is linked and affected by the function of one or more other systems in the body. For example the pancreas’ ability or disability to enable the absorption of glucose from the blood into the different cells is directly going to affect the functionality of the kidneys. It is the task of the kidneys to filter the waste (including excessive glucose) from the blood and flush it out of the body.
This is the reason why all medical specialists have to undergo medical basic training in MED school before they start their residency in the field of their specialization. Neuropsychology is one such sub-specialty field of clinical psychology. This study deals with how the brain works and its relation to the subsequent behavior. A neuropsychologist is also an expert on analyzing the role played by the nervous system in carrying out those tasks. Any disorder resulting in the brain is directly going to affect the quality and the type of signals that are sent out from the brain through the nerves thereby affecting the gross motor skills of that person.
