What can a neuro-psych find out that a regular neurologist can not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many things: A neuropsychologist really scrub the brain, hours of cognitive testing. Helps localize which parts of the brain are contributing to disorders of cognition. These tests can take a half of a day to perform, so we let the neuropsychologist have at it.
