‘This volume brings together an outstanding selection of international experts to address aspects of memory changes in healthy aging and dementia. Individual chapters deal with basic science, clinical data and neural correlates of these changes in a lively and accessible fashion. Several writers take a lifespan approach to the problems, highlighting the search for early biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease and its precursors. The collection can be warmly recommended to both researchers and clinicians as a source of up-to-date knowledge on this increasingly important topic.’ - Fergus Craik, Rotman Research Institute, Baycrest Health Sciences, Canada
