Neuropsychology is a subspecialty of psychology. It focuses on the relationship between brain injury or disease and behavior. A neuropsychologist helps people with conditions that affect the ability to think, reason, remember, and learn. 

Neurorehabilitation is a doctor-supervised medical program that helps people recover and rehabilitate from trauma, diseases, or disorders of the nervous system. Doctors recommend neurorehabilitation to help people reduce symptoms and improve physical and mental function.

Neurosurgery procedures and tests diagnose, manage, or treat conditions and disorders that affect the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. They may be invasive (surgical), minimally invasive, or noninvasive.
