Recently, because aging is progressing in our country, cerebral disease is becoming a serious problem. Therefore, viewing this problem objectively, we can say support of aging and dementia patients is a very useful research theme. In this time, we examine the drinking condition as one noticing point in a case of carrying out the rank evaluation of dementia. Because it is generally known the condition like dementia by alcohol, dementia is deeply involved with alcohol.
In this time's experiment, we examined the condition like dementia by alcohol. We carried out the experiment to observe an internal condition (cognitive ability) and an external condition (expression control ability) for the first stage and second stage in drinking level. First, by assessment of cognitive ability, though decline of cognitive ability by drinking occurs whole brain, it is shown to influence to left-brain in first step. Next, by assessment of expression control ability, we showed AU influenced by drinking in expression's output level. By these 2 experiments, we found out the concrete symptom of the condition like dementia by alcohol. In future, we examine the relationship between the condition like dementia by alcohol and dementia, and then we proceed advancing of rank evaluation of dementia.
