There certainly are. Terms like organic brain syndrome, chronic brain syndrome, organic mental syndrome, senile psychosis and hardening of the arteries (of the brain) have all been used to refer to dementia, as have more general terms, such as senility, brain dysfunction, cognitive impairment and mental impairment.
