La demenza è la progressiva perdita delle funzioni cognitive, soprattutto a causa danni cerebrali causati dalla ictus o la malattia di Alzheimer.

Essa colpisce soprattutto la memoria, il linguaggio (afasia), attenzione, abilità visive, prassi e le funzioni esecutive come la risoluzione dei problemi o l'inibizione di risposte.
