Abstract

Neuropsychological processes refer to the psychological processes, which mediate through the central nervous system and brain. Cognitive, emotional and behavioral were the psychological processes, that get affected in the brain pathology. The affected area of the brain cannot function, which result into different neuropsychological impairments. Neuropsychological test batteries, cognitive assessment and cognitive psychiatry are the terms popular in behavioral sciences for the brain- behavior assessment. PGI battery of brain dysfunction, AIIMS comprehensive neuropsychological battery in Hindi (Adult form), and NIMHANS neuropsychological battery has been the testing procedures developed in India. Neuropsychological testing has important role in the understanding of the patients for the total management of rehabilitation measures. These assessment helps to reduce disability or handicap and increase functional independence by improving the patient’s life. The present article summerized the potential relevance of neuropsychological assessment in the clinical practice in the patients with the brain dysfunction.
