Abstract
Although antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a multisystem prothrombotic condition, its inflammatory nature has been increasingly recognized in recent years. Stroke and transitory ischemic attacks are the neurological manifestations included in APS criteria, however many other neurological involvements have been attributed to antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL), such as seizures, transverse myelitis, and cognitive impairment. In this article we will review evidence from animal model that explain the role of aPL in cognition.
