<p>By Lt. Ana Soper, neuropsychologist, Naval Hospital Beaufort.<br><br>"A neuropsychologist looks at the impact of what a person’s brain does (memory, attention, and other types of cognitive functioning) on how he or she functions in day-to-day life. The neuropsychologist in Afghanistan helps warfighters and professionals understand the causes and consequences of suspected cognitive, mood, and personality changes. Neuropsychologists in the deployed setting have advanced training in diagnosing and detecting effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI), one of the signature injuries of the Afghanistan war."<br></p>
