Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination

The Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination (ACE) is a brief yet comprehensive clinician-administered cognitive battery designed to assess multiple cognitive domains and differentiate between types of dementia. Originally developed by Mathuranath and colleagues at Cambridge University in 2000, the ACE was created to address limitations of single-domain screening tools. The revised version (ACE-R, 2006) and further refined version (ACE-III, 2013) provide updated norms and improved sensitivity. The ACE-R and ACE-III are particularly valuable for distinguishing Alzheimer's disease from frontotemporal dementia.
