Case 1 – Traumatic Brain Injury: A 30-year-old engineer with a history of road traffic accident complained of "slowness." On the NIMHANS battery, he had normal memory and language but severe deficits on the Color Trails Test (Part B took >180 seconds) and reduced verbal fluency. This localized dysfunction to the frontal-subcortical circuits, guiding his rehabilitation toward executive strategy training. Case 2 – Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI): A 65-year-old homemaker reported forgetfulness. Her Word List delayed recall was borderline, but she showed no deficits in executive or visuospatial tasks. Longitudinal use of the battery at 6-month intervals can track conversion to dementia. Case 3 – Mental Retardation/Intellectual Disability: The battery helps differentiate between global delay (all domains low) vs. specific learning disability (isolated language/visuospatial weakness) in children aged 12-16 years.
