Abstract
With the advances in medical sciences, survival rates have increased, often leaving patients with acquired brain damage with severe cognitive deficits. Despite studies on neuropsychological rehabilitation in patients with acquired brain damage, there is still no clear understanding of how these rehabilitation methods work, how to go about rehabilitation of different cognitive domains, and which theoretical model to follow. The focus of this chapter is on the usefulness of a circuitry-based neuropsychological rehabilitation to improve cognitive functions following acquired brain damage. The author uses a model to explain recovery of cognitive functions and demonstrates the circuitry-based approach in rehabilitation of cognitive deficits in neurological conditions with case illustrations.
