Abstract

Neuropsychology in Japan has experienced significant growth and transformation over the past few decades, from its early development to the contemporary challenges and future opportunities it faces. This review provides a retrospective analysis of the history of neuropsychology in Japan, examining its foundational influences, key advancements, and current issues within the field. Drawing from both historical and modern perspectives, we explore the unique contributions of Japanese researchers, the role of cultural factors in shaping neuropsychological practice, and the integration of international developments into Japanese clinical and academic settings. The review also discusses current challenges such as the underrepresentation of neuropsychology in some clinical contexts, limited resources, and the need for more interdisciplinary collaboration. Finally, it highlights emerging opportunities, particularly the application of neuroimaging techniques, advances in cognitive neuroscience, and the potential for greater international collaboration in shaping the future of neuropsychology in Japan.
