Opis

This book is the first to review in depth the neurobiological and clinical characteristics of memory and its disorders in neurodegenerative disease. It presents current information about memory disorders in Alzheimer's, Huntington's and Parkinson's diseases and in other neurological conditions such as progressive supranuclear palsy, Creutzfeld-Jacob disease and HIV-associated dementia. The contributors are among the most distinguished working in this field. They present the neuroanatomical and neurochemical basis of memory disorders in neurodegenerative disease, and review the contribution of neuroradiology and neuropathology to the understanding of memory and amnesia. The contributors discuss diagnosis, assessment and treatment issues, as well as ethical and legal considerations and topics of emerging interest such as the early detection of dementia.

Recenzje

"It provides the reader with a comprehensive source of information on memory in neurodegenerative disorders. It is noteworthy for its inclusive rather than exclusive nature, as it offers perpectives from a variety of disciplines...offers a great deal to persons interested in neurodegenrative disorders where memory is significantly affected, particularly those who are first delving into the area or are looking for a comprehensive source of information." Journal of the Int'l Neuropsychologiycal Soc Nov 2000
