The book will provide the reader with a comprehensive review of Alzheimer's disease and other Dementias from both basic and clinical neuroscience perspectives in a single volume. There is no volume that encompasses the specific range of topics to be presented in this volume.

The combination of basic molecular perspectives and cognitive neurosciences is novel.

Section Two explores the state of the art research on specific diseas mechanism relaevant to dementia such as neuropathology and epidemiology and genetic risk factors. Seciton Three examines most recent research on major topics in cognitive and behavioral neuroscience as it relates to Dementia. The final section of the book explores the state of the art research in neuroimaging relevant to Dementia.
