Abstract
Heterogeneity of symptoms within and among mild cognitive impairment (MCI) individuals often makes it challenging to document cases clinically. Number of diagnostic criteria have been proposed in recent decades. MOCA and MMSE are two tests useful for the assessment of MCI, besides the neuroimaging studies with MRI and PET scan, have provided promising results in the early diagnosis of MCI. Lifestyle changes and cognitive training have been found to be more effective in the treatment of individuals with MCI.
