Recent Advances in the Mechanisms of Postoperative Neurocognitive Dysfunction: A Narrative Review by Tingting Wang, Xin Huang, Shujun Sun, Yafeng Wang, Linlin Han, Tao Zhang, Tianhao Zhang, Xiangdong Chen

“…Among these, neuroinflammation, mediated by pathways such as the NLRP3 inflammasome and blood–brain barrier disruption, emerges as a pivotal driver, triggering cascades that exacerbate neuronal injury. Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction synergistically amplify these effects, while neurotransmitter imbalances and microvascular alterations, including white matter lesions, contribute to synaptic dysfunction and cognitive decline. …”
