Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dementia is a form of cognitive impairment involving progressive deficits in a person's memory, thinking, and behavior.

Answer: D 
 Tau is a protein that accumulates in the brain and is associated with various forms of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease.

The other answer choices do not accurately describe dementia. Choice A describes frontal lobe syndrome, choice B describes Parkinson's disease, and choice E describes bradykinesia, a symptom commonly seen in Parkinson's disease but not necessarily in dementia.
