The papers compiled in this supplementum are a selection of the
best con th tributions presented at the 19 Central-European
Neurological Symposium (CNS 19) held on June 29 - July 1, 1989 in
Vienna. The main topic of this conference was degenerative and
age-associated neurological diseases. In recent decades life
expectancy has dramatically increased, at least in the
industrialized countries. This has led to extreme distortions of
the so-called population pyramids that no longer look like such but
begin to almost resemble cylinders. As a consequence of this
"overaging" of the population, diseases that are associated with
age have become much more common than before. It was thus more than
reasonable to devote a congress of the CNS series to these
important neurological diseases. The following fields of interest
are covered: Age-associated memory impairment (AAMI), Alzheimer's
and other dementias, Parkinson's disease and other movement
disorders, stroke and others. Concerning the de men tias, some
papers deal with diagnosis employing neuro-imaging methods such as
MRI, CT, PET and SPECT, others using electrophysiological methods.
An important aspect in the early preclinical diagnosis of dementia
is the inclusion of neuropsychological tests to enhance the chance
of effec tive early treatment. Also drugs that are now under
clinical investigation are discussed and preliminary results are
presented."
