Abstract

<p>  Research on cognitive dysfunction has two aspects : a clinical aspect to understand symptoms and attribute them to diagnosis and treatment, and a neuroscientific aspect to clarify the neural mechanisms involved in cognitive functions through an in-depth understanding of symptoms. In recent years, many fields, including psychology, gerontology, informatics, sociology et al., have become involved in research related to cognitive dysfunction. Furthermore, in order to provide appropriate support for patients with cognitive dysfunction, it is important for researchers to connect with government, welfare, and local communities, and to fully incorporate the opinions of patients and caregivers into policies. Therefore, individuals involved in research on cognitive dysfunction need to connect with people in a broader range of fields than before, and to cooperate mutually in conducting research while utilizing their fields of expertise. To accomplish this, it is considered necessary to provide information that is easily comprehensible to individuals from diverse fields and to cultivate interest in different fields. </p>
