Neuropsychological Tests

Meaning

Neuropsychological Tests are a standardized battery of formal assessment tools meticulously designed to objectively measure specific cognitive functions, including attention, memory, executive function, processing speed, and visuospatial skills. These tests provide quantifiable data that correlates with the structural and functional integrity of various brain regions, assisting clinicians in diagnosing neurological or psychiatric conditions, tracking disease progression, and evaluating the efficacy of therapeutic interventions. In the context of hormonal health, they are an essential tool for identifying the often subtle cognitive deficits associated with endocrine imbalances, such as those seen in thyroid disorders or significant sex hormone deficiencies. The results offer vital, objective insights into the brain-hormone axis.
