The past decade has witnessed a revolution in the attempts of scientists to under stand the molecular basis of dementia. Although dementia, as defined by global cogni tive decline involving gradual loss of memory, reasoning, judgment, and orientation, presents most commonly in the form of Alzheimer's disease (AD), an assortment of other less common disorders, such as prion and Pick's disease, can also lead to symp toms that are similar to those observed in patients with AD. The primary goal of Molecular Mechanisms of Dementia is to address the various mechanisms and multi faceted approaches currently being employed to more ... Read more

Reviews for Molecular Mechanisms of Dementia
In conclusion, the first chapters of this book provide a lot of very recent information related to the production and the toxicity of the amyloid peptide as well as to the possible role of new genes involved in Alzheimer's disease. It represents a very interesting review for scientists studying the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the neurodegeneration of ... Read more
