Overview

Cognitive impairment is a measurable decline in one or more cognitive domains, including memory, attention, executive function, language, and processing speed, that ranges from mild deficits to dementia and can interfere with daily activities. It arises from diverse causes such as neurodegenerative disease, cerebrovascular events, head injury, metabolic and endocrine disturbance, mood disorders, infection, and substance use, and it frequently coexists with depression and other psychiatric conditions. Distinguishing mild cognitive impairment from normal ageing and from dementia, and clarifying its relationship to affective symptoms, are central clinical and research challenges. Studies in this area examine factors that sustain participation in cognitive-stimulation training for mild cognitive impairment, the relationship of basal serum cortisol, depression, and medial temporal-lobe atrophy in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease, and the links between depression, apathy, and dementia, including in chronic kidney disease. Research also addresses cognitive effects of COVID-19, the cognitive dimension of oncogeriatric populations, the impact of clinical, functional, and social factors on hospital readmission, and experimental work on stress biomarkers and neural-cell models relevant to recovery and cognition. By connecting neurobiological, psychological, and functional perspectives, the field supports assessment and intervention across ageing and disease. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research on the causes, correlates, and management of cognitive impairment within the psychophysiology and clinical literature.
