Reviews

From the book reviews: A complete guide to lesion induced, genetic knockout, and phylogenetic approaches to dementias is catalogued. ... I recommend this book for animal researcher for sure, and neurologists in particular. (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, August, 2014) A great add-on to more basic textbooks on mechanisms of dementia. The book not only nicely summarizes ongoing efforts to model dementia but also describes how to investigate underlying mechanisms at various level of complexity. ... Importantly, leading mouse models are discussed, which is very useful for newcomers to the field, as there are a lot of different models. ... Additionally, the book provides information about ethics on animal experimentation and information on intellectual property, issues that can be rarely found in textbooks. (Karl Peter Giese, British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, May, 2011)
