Early Diagnosis of Dementia: Neuropsychology

Matteo Pacini

Neuropsychology contributes greatly to the opinion of madness. Cognitive poverties can be detected several times before the clinical opinion of madness. The neuropsychological profile may indicate the underpinning neuropathology. Neuropsychological assessment at an early stage of madness has two pretensions to determine a memory complaint, not always associated with a memory complaint, and to characterize the memory complaint in light of the cognitive neuropsychology and to assess other cognitive (and non-cognitive) functions toward integrating the memory complaint in a pattern.
