Abstract

Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia accounting for 50-60% of all dementia cases.

This chapter also reviews the neuropathology and genetics of Alzheimer's disease and concludes by discussing current work undertaken to identify suitable in vivo biomarkers for the disease.
