neuropsychological syndromes

Neuropsychological syndromes are patterns of symptoms resulting from brain injuries or disorders that affect specific areas responsible for functions like memory, language, movement, or perception. For example, a stroke in a certain part of the brain may cause weakness on one side of the body or difficulty speaking. These syndromes help doctors understand which brain regions are affected and guide rehabilitation. They are not diseases themselves but patterns of cognitive and behavioral changes linked to localized brain damage or dysfunction.
