Noninvasive therapies such as cognitive intervention could aid the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer disease (AD). In this article, Buschert et al. provide an overview of the current knowledge relating to the use of cognitive intervention in patients with AD, and discuss recent findings that indicate that this treatment provides substantial benefits for patients with cognitive deficits. The authors also review recent studies that have used neuroimaging techniques to identify biological changes within the brain that are associated with cognitive intervention.
