Abstract

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a clinical syndrome thought to represent the transition between normal function and dementia. This review describes data that support the existence of such a transitional phase, outlines the heterogeneity of MCI and how that has influenced the evolving concept of MCI, and discusses the impact of heterogeneity on recent MCI clinical trials.
