What is Alzheimer's Disease : Advances in Genetics, Molecular, and Cellular Biology about?

**Alzheimer’s Disease: Advances in Genetics, Cellular and Molecular Biology** provides exciting, comprehensive and up-to-date summaries of the most important recent advances in the genetic, molecular, biochemical, and cell biological studies of AD. The studies and advances described in this volume will help to accelerate the process of rational drug discovery and soon serve to extend and enhance the mental health and lifespan of our burgeoning elderly population. In 1906, Dr. Alois Alzheimer presented the case of his patient, Auguste D., a 51 year-old female admitted to the local asylum who presented with early memory impairments, psychoses, hallucinations and morbid jealousy. Dr. Alzheimer would argue that specific lesions that were present in and around neurons were responsible for dementia. In the ensuing decades, studies of the disorder that affected Auguste D., which would be named Alzheimer’s disease (AD), were largely limited to descriptive neuropathological and psychological assessments of this disease, but with little understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration and dementia. This would change in the 1980s when the protein components
