Overview

This volume gives an overview of the present state of art on the classification, neuropathology, clinical presentation, neuropsychology, diagnosis, neuroimaging and therapeutic possibilities in non-Alzheimer's dementias, an increasingly important group of CNS diseases, which account for 7 to 30 per cent of dementing disorders in adults and aged subjects, and thus, represent the second most frequent cause of dementia after Alzheimer's disease. The monograph provides the newest information for neurologists, psychiatrists, dementia research workers, dementia clinicians, neuropathologists, neurobiologists, and practicing physicians.
