Abstract

Objective: In this study, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test was applied in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Hippocampal volumes were compared between healthy controls and patients with MCI. Scores of MORBID scales and cognitive level were compared among patients with MCI to investigate if there is a correlation. We aimed to investigate the availability of the test on the diagnosis.
