Neuropsychology is the basic scientific discipline that studies the structure and function of the brain related to specific psychological processes and overt behaviors. The term neuropsychology has been applied to lesion studies in humans and animals. It has also been applied to efforts to record electrical activity from individual cells (or groups of cells) in higher primates (including some studies of human patients). It is scientific in its approach and shares an information processing view of the mind with cognitive psychology and cognitive science. It is one of the more eclectic of the psychological disciplines, overlapping at times with areas such as neuroscience, philosophy (particularly philosophy of mind), neurology, psychiatry and computer science (particularly by making use of artificial neural networks).

In practice neuropsychologists tend to work in academia (involved in basic or clinical research), clinical settings (involved in assessing or treating patients with neuropsychological problems – see clinical neuropsychology), forensic settings (often assessing people for legal reasons or court cases or working with offenders, or appearing in court as expert witness) or industry (often as consultants where neuropsychological knowledge is applied to product design or in the management of pharmaceutical clinical-trials research for drugs that might have a potential impact on CNS functioning).

A. They're different catchphrases for the same field of study. The legitimate difference is whether you're in neuroscience or psychology. Although there is much overlap (the field(s) you mentioned), neuroscience is a natural science (a "hard science"), whereas psychology is a social science (a "soft science").

A. That is an excellent career choice and I wish you the best on your journey to your goal. My suggestions are as follows: Chemistry: Through organic Biology: Consider minoring in it especially if your university has a large biology department and you can focus on human biology. If not then Human Anatomy, Human Physiology, and biochemistry for sure. Also consider courses such medical microbiology, genetics, cellular and molecular biology. Math: Calculus I Physics: Not necessary but it may help if you do well in it. Psychology: Focus on psychometric, learning, development, memory, research, and bio-psychology courses. Also if you get an opportunity to take a course in psychopharmacology then also take that. English: As a psychologist… [cont.]
