| Annotation | Strategies for early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are the most discussed topics in dementia care today. This book provides a comprehensive survey of clinical research on early diagnostic markers for AD, including the elucidation of changes in the brain revealed by structural and functional neuroimaging, as well as the characteristic patterns of cognitive decline that are documented by sensitive neuropsychological tests, various genetic markers, and biological assays. In addition, there are reviews of current clinical practice in the diagnosis of AD, the major theories about its pathophysiology, and the therapeutic and ethical implications of early diagnosis.
