Dementia with Lewy Bodies

Bol Partner

The first book devoted to the clinical, diagnostic and neuropathological features of dementia with Lewy bodies. Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is perhaps the second most common cause of degenerative dementia after Alzheimer's disease. This book, which represents the first authoritative statement about DLB, arises from a workshop held in Newcastle, England, in October 1995, which brought together leading investigators with clinical and research experience of this condition. It includes review articles, case studies and recent research findings from the main centres studying DLB. Covering the classification, cognitive manifestations, clinical diagnosis, epidemiology, genetics, neuropathology, neurochemistry and treatment of DLB, this is a landmark publication in clinical neuroscience. It presents new operational criteria for research on DLB, and will interest all concerned with the problem of dementia in the elderly.
