Possibilities for the prevention and treatment of cognitive impairment and dementia

David Burke et al. Br J Psychiatry. 2007 May.

Abstract

The human brain has a remarkable capacity for plasticity, but does it have the capacity for repair and/or regeneration? On the basis of controversial new evidence we speculate that the answer may be ;yes', and suggest that clinicians should therefore approach cognitive impairment and dementia with a new, cautious optimism.
