Cognition and cognitive training in patients with neurodegenerative diseases

This Special Issue presents some recent developments in the intriguing research and clinical field of cognition and cognitive training in patients with neurodegenerative diseases. It aims to stimulate interest in this area and encourage the further exploration of effective evidence-based treatment strategies. Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), and others, typically lead to progressive cognitive decline, mainly affecting the realms of memory, executive function, attention, and language. The cognitive deterioration significantly reduces patients’ and caregivers’ quality of life, often leading to early institutionalization. Despite a huge amount of research on the underlying pathophysiology of these disorders, there is a substantial lack of knowledge about how to detect and manage the progression of cognitive deficits appropriately.
