The Neuropsychological
Rehabilitation Service deals with the diagnosis and treatment
of cognitive disorders due to brain damage. The neuropsychological
rehabilitation is aimed at patients with brain injury or suffering from neurodegenerative
diseases. The aim of neuropsychological rehabilitation
is to enable people with cognitive, emotional, or behavioural deficits to
achieve their maximum potential in the domains of psychological, social,
leisure, vocational or everyday functioning. The process of rehabilitation is
based on the biological concept of neuroplasticity. In simple words, neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to reorganise its structure by adapting to
changes and demands of the environment around it.
