COPENHAGEN – Researchers are paying more attention to subjective cognitive decline – a patient’s perceived notion of memory loss – even if the patients complete various cognitive tests with flying colors.

In a video interview at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference 2014, Wiesje M. van der Flier, Ph.D., head of clinical research for the Alzheimer’s Center at the VU University Medical Center in Amsterdam, explained the issue and how physicians should handle a patient’s perceptions of cognitive decline.
