This document discusses the anatomy and organization of the nervous system. It covers the central nervous system (CNS), peripheral nervous system (PNS), and autonomic nervous system (ANS) including the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. Neuroanatomy is the study of the structure of the nervous system, while neurophysiology is the study of its function. Neuropsychology examines the effects of brain injury or disease on cognition, behavior, and emotion. Common neuropsychological evaluation techniques include lumbar puncture, angiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography (CT) scans.

• Large number of brain neurons
2
• Neurons consist of a cell body, dendritic tree structure and an
axon
3
• Neurons generate electrical potentials
4
• Electric potentials are the basic mechanisms for
communication
5
• Neurons are functionally polarized

• Synapse

11. Neuropsychology is a discipline
fundamentally clinical, which converges
between neurology and psychology.

12. Neuropsychology studies the effects of
injury, damage or malfunction in the
central nervous system structures in the
cognitive, psychological, emotional and
individual behavior.

13.  Head injury
 Stroke
 Braintumors
 Neurodegenerative diseases(Alzhemier, multiple
sclerosis,Parkinson,etc.)
 Developmental diseases(Epilepsy, cerebral palsy,
attention deficit,hyperactivity)

16. Is the evaluation of psychological and behavioral
effects of brain damage in a person to detect and
establish a relationship between the anatomical areas
and cognitive functions affected in order to delineate a
neuropsychological rehabilitation program relevant to
the case.

17. Diagnostic and at times therapeutic
procedure that is performed in order
to collect a sample of cerebrospinal
fluid (CSF)
For biochemical analysis
Very rarely as a treatment to relieve
increased intracranial pressure

19. Can detect the degree of tightening or obstruction
of an artery or blood glass in the brain, the head or
the neck.
It is used to diagnose cerebro-vascular accidents and to
determine the location and size of a cerebral tumor,
aneurysm, or vascular malformation.

20. Magnetic resonance of a head

21. Is a noninvasive technique
To obtain information on the structure and
composition of the body to be analyzed
This information is processed by computer and
transformed into images of the inside of what
has been analyzed.

22. To observe alterations in the tissue and detect cancers and other
diseases
Unlike CT , uses no ionizing radiation , but fields magnetic to align
the nuclear magnetization of (usually) atoms of hydrogen from water in
the bodY

23. Computed tomography

24. Also called scanning , is a technique of medical imaging that
uses X-radiation for cuts or sections of anatomical objects for
diagnostic purposes.
Is the imaging slices or sections of an object
