Historical Pathway from Description of Cognitive Recovery to Formal Neuropsychological Rehabilitation.

Historical Pathway from Description of Cognitive Recovery to Formal Neuropsychological Rehabilitation. Front Neurol Neurosci. 2019;44:179-191 Authors: Magnin E, Ryff I, Brun B, Decavel P, Hague S, Moulin T Abstract Neuropsychological rehabilitation is one of the subspecialties of neuropsychology, along with neuropsychological assessment, cognitive process descriptions, and anatomo-functional correlation, but it is still frequently underrecognized, even from a historical point of view. In this chronological review, we propose following some of the historical descriptions of cognitive recovery, and the suggested procedures and therapies to improve this recovery from mythological periods and the antiquity to recent contemporary periods and the birth of formal neuropsychological rehabilitation in neurological and psychiatric conditions.
