Neuropsychologists don't depend on a single treatment plan for every patient. Every patient is different, depending on the location of their tumor. A Neuropsychologist will create a treatment plan for each patient individually. 

Neuropsychologists decide the treatment based on the location of the brain tumor. 

The study shows that neuropsychological symptoms are the first symptoms that show in patients with brain tumors. 

Neuropsychological symptoms might be the first indicator of brain tumor 

Patients who are going through invasive treatment will benefit from having early rehabilitation treatments so their cognitive abilities are kept intact. 

In this study it was shown that certain invasive brain treatments does have an impact on the cognitive abilities of patients. It was shown that invasive treatments decrease cognitive abilities.

Neuropsychologists also use other interventions such as exercise programs and yoga which helps patients regulate their emotions.

Neuropsychologists have been interested in researching the cognitive involvement in brain tumors. The increase of the understanding led to the ability of performing awake surgeries.
