Determine the various neurobehavioural characteristics

Contemporary views of brain function tend to conceptualise localisation in interaction with a number of developmental and pathological considerations. Localisation of function in the brain of an infant is not the same as it is in adult. Localisation in women is not same as it is in men. Furthermore, the neurobehavioural characteristics of disease or destruction of the very same brain regions may vary substantially with the particular pathological process. We have therefore chosen to introduce neuropsychological assessment on the basis of these different processes, with localisation treated within the contexts of those processes.
