THEME: "Emerging Challenges and Advances in Neurology and Neuropsychiatry"
Cognitive neuropsychiatry deals with research on cognitive disorders including developmental disorders, psychiatric disorders such as dementia or schizophrenia, functional neuroimaging and computational neuropsychology. Cognitive Neuropsychiatry promotes the study of cognitive processes from a neuropsychological perspective. Cognitive neuropsychiatry represents a systematic and theoretically driven approach to explain clinical psychopathologies in terms of deficits to normal cognitive mechanisms. A concern with the neural substrates of impaired cognitive mechanisms links cognitive neuropsychiatry to the basic neurosciences.
