--In the lecture, the professor talked about neural changes and cognitive changes in the brain when people get older. The brain of older people suffers from both structural and functional changes, like cortical thinning/atrophy, decrease in cerebral blood flow, degradation of cells, etc. Things get worse for people with dementia. Therefore, we want to prevent the damage by some interventions. The goals are to prevent “excess disability”, promote functional improvement, and maintain QoL for both the patient and their family.

  In the paper, Cognitive stimulation for dementia: A systematic review of the evidence of effectiveness from randomised controlled trials, researchers found that cognitive stimulation consistently improves cognitive function in people with dementia [3]. It also indicates that cognitive stimulation also benefits self-reported well-being and quality of life.
