This volume contains the proceedings of a symposium held in
Marseille on April 6, 1992, on the topic "Heterogeneity of
Alzheimer's disease. " This was the eighth of a continuing and very
successful series of meetings related to Alzheimer's disease
organized by the Fondation Ipsen pour la Recherche Therapeutique.
These symposia, known as "Colloques medecine et recherche," started
in 1987 and have dealt with widely different aspects of the disease
such as immunology, genetics, neuronal grafting, biological
markers, imaging, growth factors, and last year's less conventional
topic of Neurophilo- sophy and Alzheimer's disease. The next IPSEN
symposium dedicatet to Alz- heimer's disease will take place in
Lyon on June 21, 1993, and will deal with "Amyloid protein
precursors in development, aging, and alzheimer's disease. " It is
being organized by Konrad Beyreuther, Colin Masters, Marc Trillet,
and Yves Christen. Until a few years ago, several names were used
to refer to the most common cause of dementia in the elderly. They
included such terms as "senile psycho- sis," "organic brain
syndrome," and "senile dementia. " Following Kraepelin, the term
"Alzheimer's disease" was often restricted to an uncommon condition
starting at a younger age (before 60 or 65 years of age).
