title: Nosographical aspects and neuropsychological correlates of dementia.
abstract: The role of neuropsychological assessment in the clinical diagnosis and management of dementia has been shifting in recent years from an ancillary diagnostic test to an important tool for pre-clinical and differential diagnosis. Additionally, in conjunction with functional imaging and quantitative structural imaging, it is providing new insights into the cerebral correlates of cognition and behaviour.
