Neurocognitive functions are cognitive functions closely linked to the integrity of specific brain systems—particular cortical and subcortical regions, neural pathways, and large-scale networks—such that disruption of those neural substrates produces characteristic patterns of cognitive impairment. The concept is central to neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience, which relate structure and function of the nervous system to cognition and behaviour.
