neuromarketing

Neuromarketing is the study of the brain’s responses to advertising, the brands encountered in our daily lives, and all the associated messages and images that are strewn throughout the cultural landscape of everyday life.

It is a controversial new field of marketing which uses medical technologies such as functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) -- not to heal, but to sell products.
In an fMRI neuromarketing study of men's reactions to cars, Daimler-Chrysler has found that sportier models activate the brain's reward centers -- the same areas that light up in response to alcohol and drugs -- as well as activating the area in the brain that recognizes faces, which may explain people's tendency to anthropomorphize their cars.

neuroatypical

Neuroatypical refers to people whose neurological structure or function doesn't fit what the medical community defines as "normal".

Neuroatypical people could be on the Autism Spectrum, on the schizophrenia spectrum, have bipolar disorder, have ADHD, or other non-neurotypical conditions.

A synonymous term is neurodivergent and an antonym is neurotypical. A group of people whose neuro types are varied is neurodiverse.
All of the above terminology were coined by the Autistic community.
Skylar: You're NT, right?
Fallon: Nope! I have ADHD and schizophrenia.
Skylar: Ah, so you're neuroatypical, not NT, but you ARE allistic.
Fallon: Correct!

Neuroatypical

When a person is not neurotypical (a term coined by the Autistic community, used to describe someone with a 'normal' brain). Neuroatypical is used to describe people who have bipolar disorder, ADHD, schizophrenia, circadian rhythm disorders, developmental speech disorders, Parkinson's disease, dyslexia, and dyspraxia.
David isn't neurotypical, he's bipolar so that makes him more neuroatypical.
