About kaminakiba Expertise General neuroscience questions (I know that covers a wide region, and I`ll do my best). My interest/study is on brain rhythms, behavioural neuroscience and neuropharmacology.
Experience Three university degrees in neuroscience and over five years of research experience.
I also teach undergraduate cell biology, anatomy, immunology, physiology and biochemistry in my university, so feel free to ask me questions under those areas too.
Question whats the difference between a neuropsychologist and a clinical psychologist?
Answer Hi Sam,
The difference between those two titles often differ very little as some of their experise and responsibilities overlap. Indeed, in real life these people carry out a lot of similar functions. Officially, (or how I understand it) a neuropsychologist deals with mainly brain abnormalities from incidents such as lesions or genetic diseases (like a neurology) and a clinical psychologist deals mainly with more behavioural problems with (un)specified cause (like a psychiatrist). Some people use these titles to distinguish the "actual" neurologists and psychiatrists (both have to be medically qualified) from the neuropsychologists and the clinical psychologists (both are dependent on the admission to exclusive courses but are not medically trained).
