Could Regular Internet Use Lower the Risk of Dementia?
Dementia refers to the loss of cognitive functioning. Damage to brain cells causes dementia, due to which, brain cells cannot communicate with each other for proper brain functioning. This cognitive impairment commonly encompasses a loss of language, memory, problem-solving skills, and other cognitive skills. Other than Alzheimer’s, the cognitive impairments that lead to dementia include depression, drug side effects, infections, metabolic abnormalities, and small strokes to the brain. Looking through another perspective, it is pretty clear that memory impairment is a normal part of aging that must not be conflated with dementia.
