Cognicise: Helping to Prevent Dementia Before It Starts

Specialists are finding ways to slow the advance of MCI, even reversing it in some cases, through new approaches combining cognitive training with physical exercise. MCI is a state that lies somewhere between normal cognition and dementia. It is characterized by forgetfulness and other forms of cognitive decline that do not interfere dramatically with daily life. An example often used to illustrate the difference between MCI and normal cognition is that the inability to remember what one had for dinner the night before (standard age-related forgetfulness) versus the inability to remember having eaten dinner at all (MCI).
