Welcome to the website of our Swiss Society for Cognitive and Behavioural Neurology (SSCBN), founded in 1996.

What is Cognitive and Behavioural Neurology? It is a subspecialty of neurology that studies the impact of brain injury or disease on cognition including domains such as memory, language, praxis or social cognition, on affect and on behaviour.  

Our approach focuses on the patients, their individualized care and appropriate treatment, which is why it is necessary to continuously improve diagnostic methods and therapeutic interventions. We develop guidelines that are essential for the further education of physicians, and we collaborate closely with related disciplines such as neurorehabilitation and psychiatry as also professions such as neuropsychology, speech therapy and occupational therapy. The members of our society are not only neurologists, but also non-medical specialists in fields related to neurology such as neuropsychology and neuroscience.

One of our primary goals is to teach neurologists the skills of neurobehavioural assessment so that they can practice it in their clinical routine. In addition, we aim to provide state-of-the-art knowledge on more detailed neuropsychological tests and brain-imaging results and discuss the latest diagnostic-therapeutic approaches to neurological disorders associated with behavioural / cognitive symptoms.

If you got interested in becoming a member of our society, then please apply for membership by mailing us your application letter together with your curriculum vitae.
