The use of Virtual Reality (VR) finds more and more useful applications in rehabilitation area. We have applied it in a controlled pilot study for cognitive rehabilitation. Twelve subjects over 65 years old with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) have followed a multimedia memory-training programme. The results have underlined an improvement of the cognitive decline indices in the experimental group and this improvement has been observed also after a 1 year follow-up. Our findings suggest that this rehabilitating programme can back other strategies aimed at reactivating memory trough cerebral plasticity, if enough neuronal pathways are saved from the pathological process. Keywords: mild cognitive impairment, virtual reality, memory training.
