In this research it was found that several exercise programs help patients improve with their cognitive abilities and showed them improving. 

Neuropsychological treatment for patients with glioma 

The same several exercise programs used for patients with glioma, was used in patients with meningioma. They found that it decreased their depression and insomnia. 

Neuropsychological treatment for patients with meningioma 

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. 

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

Why is it important that neuropsychologist are part of the care team of patients with brain tumors?
