This text provides an in-depth review of the cytoskeletal protein pathology, brain amyloidosis, molecular genetics and neurochemistry of Alzheimer's disease. The latest advances are explored in relevant areas such as differential diagnosis and neuropathology of Alzheimer's disease; laboratory diagnostic tests; therapeutics amd clinical trials. Environmental factors associated with Alzheimer's disease are highlighted. The volume also includes an entire section devoted to the clinical and pathogenic relationship between Alzheimer's disease and the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, Creutzfeldt Jakob disease, Gerstman-Strausler's syndrome and scrapie.
