This book is an indispensable resource for students and teachers of clinical and experimental neuropsychology. It does not replace standard textbooks but complements them by addressing questions and perspectives often overlooked in conventional introductions. Rather than presenting material to be memorized, it encourages readers to reflect, question, and remain curious. Psychometric testing has its place, but scores alone never tell the whole story. Burning Questions in Neuropsychology looks beyond numbers to the human realities they represent. In doing so, the book will ignite curiosity, which is essential for opening newer perspectives.
