More DescriptionSeveral major advances have been made recently in the understanding of the aetiology of Alzheimer's disease. Neurobiology of Alzheimer's Disease contains up-to-date reviews by world authorities on current key issues relating to the origins and treatment of the disease. Topics covered range from molecular neuropathology through diagnostic and clinical aspects, with both immediate and long-term therapeutic solutions. In-depth analyses are given on the molecular nature of the (-amyloid and tau proteins, the genetics of familial Alzheimer's disease, the roles of apolipoprotein E and the use of transgenic models. This book will be essential reading for all researchers in cellular and molecular neurobiology, and clinicians involved in the assessment and treatment of patients suffering from the disease. "This is a terrific book, covering all the hot areas in Alzheimer's disease research." Trends in Neurosciences
