| Annotation | Dementia is a generic term embracing a number of neuropsychological syndromes characteristic of different brain diseases. Dementia is not a non-specific end-stage intellectual failure, nor is it a synonym for brain disease. Hierarchical descriptions at the levels of neurological and psychological behaviour taken together with the results of brain imaging and electrophysiology permits a rational classification of disorders leading to forms of dementia, as described in this overview.
