Distinguished specialists from a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines bring new perspectives to the study of dementia, defined as the reduction or loss of intellectual abilities due to organic impairment of brain tissue functioning. Topics explored in this authoritative volume include: problems in the cognitive neurochemistry of Alzheimer's disease, the neurochemistry of Korsakoff's syndrome, psychopharmacological studies of arousal and attention, drugs and the processing of information, and the neuropsychology of emotion and personality. The contributors discuss techniques and strategies in treating dementia and explore ways in which multidisciplinary approaches can be brought to bear on understanding the pharmacological basis of human psychology. A superb reference text for pharmacologists and psychopharmacologists, psychogeneticists, neuropsychologists, and neurochemists.
