Luria's Neuropsychology Theory

Luria's Neuropsychology Theory emphasizes the relationship between brain function and behavior. He proposed that the brain is organized into three main structures: the brainstem (basic functions), the posterior regions (sensory processing), and the frontal regions (higher cognitive functions). Understanding how these areas work together helps explain how we learn, think, and interact with the world. This theory is significant in understanding how brain injuries can affect specific abilities, informing treatments in neuropsychology to aid recovery and rehabilitation by focusing on the brain's specialized functions.
