Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common form of dementia that leads to multiple repercussions in the patient's life. This condition's clinical characteristics include loss of memory, temporal and spatial disorientation, language or executive dysfunction, and subsequent decline of social function. Dysexecutive syndrome (DS), the second most frequent neuropsychological dysfunction in AD, affects multiple brain areas and causes cognitive, behavioral, and emotional difficulties. We aimed to analyze the association between DS and AD and elucidate possible lack of evidence that may urge further research on this theme. Especially when dealing with such a disabling disease, where new findings can directly imply a better prognosis.
