Riassunto

Here is all of the very latest scientific and clinical information for every type for dementing disease - presented in a handy, easy-to-read format. Noted specialists in the field equip readers with the guidance they need to understand, diagnose, and manage these conditions using all of the best approaches available today. They emphasize a neurologic investigative approach to differentiate the curable from the noncurable dementias. Disorders are organised into cortical and subcortical dementias to emphasise the different clinical features that facilitate diagnosis.
