This consists of a meeting with the patient and their family. The patient is asked to perform tasks or cognitive tests to evaluate their ability in performing various cognitive functions.

This applies to adults with neurological or neurosurgical pathologies such as: cognitive deterioration, neurodegenerative diseases, Parkinson's Disease, Epilepsy, strokes, multiple sclerosis, normal pressure hydrocephalus, brain tumours, brain damage.

The assessment can help to establish the diagnostic differential between these pathologies, and help to identify possible candidates for neurological surgery interventions and to document the after effects and what they mean to the everyday life of patients that have suffered brain damage.

It is a program designed for people who have suffered brain damage in the sub-acute stage (between three and six months after the causal event) and have mild or moderate cognitive consequences identified during the neuropsychological examination.

The rehabilitation is centred around improving cognitive function and functional ability using a program of cognitive telerehabilitation and rehabilitation sessions at the hospital. The patient can perform the cognitive exercises via a computer and the internet, supervised by a neuropsychologist, who can adapt the exercises to be tailor made to fit the characteristics and the needs of each patient.

Pre and post surgical Neuropsychological assessment of patients with refractory epilepsy who are candidates for epilepsy surgery

Consisting of a complete neuropsychological examination carried out over two sessions as part of the protocol for admission and a multidisciplinary assessment at the Epilepsy Unit. This can help to provide information to locate the focus of the epilepsy and to identify those patients that could benefit form a surgical intervention to treat their refractory epilepsy.

Pre and post surgical neuropsychological assessment of patients with evolved Parkinson's Disease, candidates for surgery using deep brain stimulation.

The neuropsychological assessment can help to identify and differentiate the cognitive deterioration associated with Parkinson's Disease and the deterioration due to dementia, and also, to determine which patients are candidates for surgery. Post surgically, it can evaluate the effects of the surgery on cognition and mood.

Intrasurgical assessment of cognitive functions or intraoperative mapping

This can be seen in some patients with brain injuries, usually tumours in eloquent areas of the brain, which impact on cognitive functions of special relevance, such as, for example, language. It consists of evaluating the cognitive functions impacted while carrying out the surgery and requires the participation of the patient, who has to remain conscious during the process. It can help to optimise the surgical resection with the minimum of consequences.
