In this course, we will explore dementia as a group of diseases that impair cognitive abilities such as memory, thinking, and daily functioning due to damage to brain nerve cells. We will examine its risk factors, signs, and symptoms, and then investigate how dementia alters brain anatomy and causes cognitive decline over time.
