Top 12 AI Use Cases in Neurology for 2025: Transforming Brain Health with Technology

Neurological disorders are among the most complex and costly to diagnose and manage, contributing billions to global healthcare expenditures each year.

By enhancing diagnostic accuracy, enabling early detection of conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, and optimizing patient care pathways, AI empowers clinicians and decision-makers to improve outcomes and resource utilization.

In this blog, we explore the top AI applications in neurology, complete with real-life examples and ethical considerations for clinical implementation.

1. AI for Neuro-Oncology

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming brain tumor care. AI models analyze MRI, patient data, and even genomic information to:

• Detect tumors and define boundaries

• Predict treatment response and survival

• Guide surgical and therapeutic planning

Example:Deep learning algorithms now assist in molecular classification of brain tumors during surgery and in radiomic analysis to predict recurrence.

2. Healthcare Data Analysis in Neuro-Oncology

AI goes beyond imaging:

• NLP models analyze electronic health records for predictive modeling

• AI-enhanced clinical trials accelerate drug discovery for conditions like MS, Alzheimer’s, and acute stroke

3. AI in Neurovascular Disorders

Neurovascular conditions like stroke remain the 2nd leading cause of death worldwide.

• AI‑enabled CT scans automatically detect hemorrhages

• Predictive tools identify patients at risk of hemorrhagic expansion or ischemia

• Companies like BrainQ and Google are co‑developing AI neurorehabilitation devices for stroke patients

4. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Detection

AI aids in:

• Detecting subtle TBI lesions on CT and MRI

• Classifying severity and predicting complications

• Reducing unnecessary pediatric CT scans, thus lowering radiation exposure

5. AI in Neurosurgery: From Pre‑Op to Post‑Op

• Preoperative Planning: AI identifies tumors, aneurysms, and vascular malformations

• Intraoperative Assistance: Robotics + AI improve microsurgical precision (e.g., ROSA and Mazor X Stealth Edition)

• Postoperative Monitoring: Predicts edema, hemorrhage, and recovery trajectories, supporting personalized rehabilitation

6. Neuromodulation & Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMI)

• Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) with AI optimizes electrode placement for Parkinson’s and epilepsy

• Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) allow paralyzed patients to control prosthetics or devices using neural signals

7. AI in Neurosurgical Education

• Virtual reality + AI simulations enable safer skill development

• Decision support systems analyze real-time surgical data for better intraoperative decisions

8. Molecular Analysis, Biomarker Discovery & Diagnostics

AI supports precision neurology through:

• Genomic and transcriptomic analysis for ALS, MS, and Huntington’s

• Early biomarker detection to predict disease onset and treatment response

• AI-powered molecular diagnostics to accelerate detection of rare neurological diseases

Ethical Considerations for AI in Neurology

Concern	Mitigation Strategy
Data quality	Collect diverse, validated, multi-source datasets
Bias in training data	Detect and adjust for demographic underrepresentation
Clinical relevance	Align development with physician input and real-world needs
Health equity	Ensure inclusive models and access to technology
Governance & Transparency	Maintain robust data governance and ethical oversight

By combining rigorous data standards with ethical AI frameworks, neurology can transition to a future where AI accelerates diagnosis and personalizes care without compromising safety or fairness.
