What is the definition of clinical neuroscience?

APA (n.d.)
“an emerging field in which basic neuroscience data and the scientific method
are coupled to such fields as clinical psychology, psychiatry, and neurology in
order to better understand the neural underpinnings of mental and nervous
system disorders and to improve their diagnosis and treatment” (APA, n.d.)
