Core Tip	This review attempts to compile the limited current knowledge on the behavioral and cognitive effects of cerebral malaria (CM) and the possible pathological mechanisms related to neurobehavioral manifestations. CM induces acute/chronic neurological damage, affecting several Central Nervous System regions responsible for behavioral, neurological and cognitive functions which may result in motor deficits, epilepsy, blindness, speech/hearing and memory/attention disorders, hyperactivity, anxiety-like behavior, neuropsychiatric manifestations of post malaria neurological syndrome, both in humans and animal models. The action mechanisms involved in the alterations are not yet clearly defined; however proinflammatory mediators have been described with consequent axonal damage and demyelination.
