Clinical Services
The Clinical arm of ZENITH NEUROPSYCHOLOGY provides neuropsychological evaluations to provide information about the structural and functional integrity of the brain and to inform on various possible neurocognitive diagnoses. Through testing, an evaluation can:

Assist in a differential diagnosis (e.g., psychiatric illness vs. dementia vs. another neurological condition)
​

Provide a baseline against which subsequent evaluations can be compared i.e. to monitor disease progression or lack thereof

Reveal areas of daily functioning (e.g., financial management) with which the patient may need assistance or which may indicate rehabilitation potential

Assess functioning before and after neurosurgical to help determine potential or actual effects of a given procedure on cognitive functions and behavior
