Cerebral ischemia and dementia: [International Symposium on Cerebral Ischemia and Dementia held in Prien, Chiemsee, in June 1990]

In contrast to dementia of the Alzheimer type, the subject of dementia subsequent to cerebral ischemia has been discussed rather rarely. Now this book provides a summary of the brain morphology, neurochemistry and clinical aspects of dementia subsequent to cerebral ischemia. The contributions discus...
