Neuropsychology

Understanding how the brain affects thinking, emotions, and behavior is key to diagnosing and managing cognitive health. 

At Cooper University Health Care, our licensed neuropsychologists specialize in evaluating brain-behavior relationships to help patients facing cognitive challenges due to neurological or medical conditions.

What Is Neuropsychological Testing?

Neuropsychological evaluations assess how brain function impacts memory, attention, language, reasoning, and emotional well-being. These tests help diagnose conditions, guide treatment plans, and determine surgical candidacy.

Conditions We Evaluate

Our neuropsychologists work with patients experiencing cognitive changes due to:

• Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.
• Stroke and vascular conditions.
• Epilepsy and seizures.
• Parkinson’s disease.
• Multiple sclerosis.
• Brain tumors and traumatic brain injuries.
• Cancer-related cognitive changes.
• Sleep disorders, chronic pain, and medication side effects.

When to Consider a Neuropsychological Evaluation

Your doctor may refer you for testing if you experience:

• Memory loss or confusion interfering with daily life.
• Cognitive changes after a stroke, injury, or neurological diagnosis.
• Pre-surgical evaluation for epilepsy, brain tumors, or Parkinson’s disease.
