The seminar comprised two parts. The first part was on cognitive neuroscience, its aims, advanced neuroimaging methods that are used to define brain pathology as well as differentiations in brain pathology between different types of dementias and how this is reflected on patients' neuropsychological profile in different stages of the disease. The second part was on clinical neuropsychology, that is application of this knowledge into clinical practice, emphasis was given on the methods that clinical neuropsychologists use to measure brain dysfunction in patients with acquired brain damage, the psychometric properties of these methods and the contribution of the neuropsychological assessment outcome to set treatment goals and apply interventions adjusted to patients' needs and difficulties. During the lectures, many videos were presented, introducing participants in the newness of neuroscience and cases of brain-injured patients with great research and clinical interest.
