AnnotationIn this article, the authors argue that impairment of intellectual capacity in dementia can lead to the exploration of new growth pathways in the brain, forcing a re-evaluation of the way a person sees the world. In the journey "from the mind to the heart", creativity has a chance to re-assert itself. (RH).
