Clinical neuroscience is:
A. Is the branch of neuroscience that focuses on understanding the fundamental mechanisms that
underlie diseases and disorders of brain and peripheral nervous systems - i.e. includes Central
Nervous System and Autonomic Nervous System disorders.
B. Traditional paper and pencil, and newer more functionally dynamic behavioural psychophysics
(threshold testing etc.)
