Dementia is a group of neurological conditions characterized by a decline in cognitive function—affecting memory, reasoning, communication, and the ability to perform everyday tasks. The most common form is Alzheimer’s disease, but other types include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. As global populations age, dementia has become a major public health concern, driving research into its causes, risk factors, early detection, and potential treatments. Explore the latest findings on dementia, from breakthroughs in brain science to emerging therapies aimed at prevention and care.
