Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of bariatric surgery on cognitive performance using virtual reality (Neurotracker) and the Neuropsi neuropsychological battery.
Methods: This prospective quasi-experimental study will include patients with morbid obesity who are candidates for bariatric surgery. Cognitive performance will be evaluated using the Neurotracker virtual reality tool and the Neuropsi neuropsychological battery. Participants will complete Neurotracker sessions three times weekly for two weeks before surgery, and again at 3- and 6-months post-surgery. The Neuropsi assessment will be conducted once prior to surgery and repeated at 6 months afterward. Statistical analyses will compare cognitive performance before and after the surgical intervention.
Expected Outcomes: The study aims to identify measurable improvements in cognitive function after weight loss from bariatric surgery, evaluated through both traditional neuropsychological tests and immersive virtual reality tools. These results could improve understanding of the cognitive benefits of surgical obesity treatment and the factors that predict these outcomes.

Intervention/Treatment
Evaluation of perceptual-cognitive functions (NeuroTracker) in patients with morbid obesity or obesity and related conditions, who were treated with bariatric surgery.
Bariatric Surgery
Surgical procedures designed to induce sustained weight loss in patients with morbid obesity by modifying the gastrointestinal anatomy to restrict caloric intake, reduce nutrient absortion, or alter gut hormonal responses involved in appetite and metabolism regulation.
