Neuropsychology and Activities of Daily Living

The goal of this line is to investigate how brain damage affects the adaptation of the patient to its environment, and what strategies can be effective to ameliorate the deficits.

Very active lines focus on confabulations (believing that something occurred) and on cognitive abilities that impact activities of daily life (such as cleaning one's teeth or making breakfast).
