Montreal Cognitive Assessment
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a brief 10-minute cognitive screening test designed to detect mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in older adults. Developed by Nasreddine and colleagues in 2005 at McGill University, MoCA is more sensitive to cognitive impairment than the Mini-Cog or MMSE, particularly for detecting early Alzheimer's disease and non-Alzheimer dementias, making it widely used in primary care, neurology, and geriatric medicine.
