"I enjoyed reading this book and will keep it available in our department for teaching and as a useful reference. ... The illustrations and neuro-imaging are generally of a high standard. This book is likely to be of interest to a wide range of readers, clinicians, clinical radiologists and anyone commencing research in dementia." (Andrew D MacKinnon, RAD Magazine, October, 2018)
