The Effects of Cognitive Rehabilitation Targeting Frontal Lobe Executive Function in Mild Cognitive Impairment

Abstract

Background: Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) are known to revert to normal cognition, so early intervention during the MCI stage is required. MCI is reported to be associated with a reduction in frontal lobe volume, blood flow, and metabolism; dysfunction of the frontal lobes has also been reported to increase the risk of progressing to dementia. This study verifies the effects of cognitive rehabilitation targeting frontal lobe executive function in MCI.
