- | **Major neurocognitive disorder** (and [[cl:3-mild-neurocog-disorder|mild neurocognitive disorder]]) exists on a spectrum of cognitive and functional impairment. The term major neurocognitive disorder corresponds to the condition referred to what was previously referred to in the DSM-IV as dementia. The core feature of neurocognitive disorders is an acquired cognitive decline in one or more cognitive domains based on (A) both a concern about cognition on the part of the individual, a knowledgeable informant, or the clinician, and (B) performance on an objective assessment that falls below the expected level or observed decline over time. | + | **Major neurocognitive disorder** (and [[cl:3-mild-neurocog-disorder|mild neurocognitive disorder]]) exists on a spectrum of cognitive and functional impairment.
