What are cognitive disorders ?
Cognitive disorders refer to mental pathologies characterized by a set of clinical signs likely to affect the underlying processes of memory, reasoning, understanding and judgment. Cognitive disorders are characterized by their variable degree of severity as well as by the multiplicity of their causes. Thus, this type of disease can be caused by aging as well as by an associated pathology or head trauma.
