Neuropsychological Assessment
Objective: Assessment of cognitive function including screening for dementia, depression, and mild cognitive impairment using standardized neuropsychological tests
This is a Neuropsychological Assessment protocol using human as the model organism. The procedure involves 5 procedural steps, 2 equipment items, 1 materials. Extracted from a 2013 paper published in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience.
Model and subjects

Core workflow
Pre-screening questionnaire administration • Neuropsychological assessment • MMSE administration
Primary readouts
- MMSE score (mean = 29.21 ± 0.91)
- MoCA score (mean = 27.48 ± 1.65)
- Screening for dementia
- Screening for depression
Key equipment and reagents
