Abstract
Neuropsychology plays an integral role in the evaluation and management of patients undergoing neurosurgical procedures, providing crucial insights into cognitive and psychological outcomes. Recent advances in neuroimaging, cognitive neuroscience, and rehabilitation techniques have significantly transformed neuropsychological practice in the neurosurgical context. This review explores the emerging innovations in neuropsychology, highlighting their potential applications in neurosurgical patient care. It examines advances in neuroimaging technologies, neuroplasticity, personalized cognitive rehabilitation, and the integration of artificial intelligence in assessing and monitoring patient outcomes. Additionally, the article discusses the evolving role of neuropsychologists in preoperative planning, postoperative recovery, and long-term care. The goal is to offer a forward-looking perspective on how these innovations can optimize care, improve patient outcomes, and enhance the quality of life for neurosurgical patients.
