Dementia and Motor Neuron Disease is a single authoritative reference on the current understanding of frontotemporal dementia in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This comprehensive work is ideal for clinical and research groups focusing on dementia or ALS, as well as those working in the fields of neuroimaging and neuropsychology.
Key topics covered include:
• Frontotemporal dementia, including history, anatomy and impairment
• Clinical phenomenology and treatment
• Neuropathological, cognitive dysfunction and altered cognition spectrums
• Neuroimaging
• Molecular and cellular neuropathology
• Genetics
• Neurochemistry
With contributions from international opinion leaders in dementia and motor neuron disease, this is a one-of-a-kind reference for established clinicians and researchers, as well as graduate students studying neurodegeneration.
