The last 20 years have brought unprecedented new knowledge to our
understanding of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and for the first time,
approved symptomatic treatments. Authored by one of the world's
leading authorities on the management of AD and related dementias,
this highly illustrated Atlas of Alzheimer's Disease describes the
colorful history of the illness, its neuropathological basis from
structural brain imaging and post-mortem studies, and its
devastating effects on perception, cognition, communication, and
social behavior. In addition to an accurate and detailed historical
perspective, the book provides a state-of-the-art review of current
working hypotheses, diagnostic approaches, and treatments of AD.
Many tables and illustrations help readers comprehend the
scientific information provided, and the book places great emphasis
on the increasingly identifiable risk factors for development of
the disease, with a view towards prevention.
