Evaluation of neurotrophic factors and education level as predictors of cognitive decline in alcohol use disorder
Abstract Cognitive reserve (CR) is the capability of an individual to cope with a brain pathology through compensatory mechanisms developed through cognitive stimulation by mental and physical activity. Recently, it has been suggested that CR has a protective role against the initiation of substance...
