ABSTRACT

Attention, memory and learning are the most involved higher mental functions in mild cognitive impairment, are manifestations also present in almost any type of dementia, the boundary line between the two conditions often provides not only diagnostic but also therapeutic challenge. Early identification and prevent progression of mild cognitive impairment are tasks to be solved in the study of the brain and how it sick.
