Summary:

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the deposition into the brain of amyloid peptide, which originates a cascade of inflammatory events leading eventually to neuronal death. This book gives information about MCI as prodromal Alzheimer's disease (AD), and discusses the main known pathological mechanisms at the basis of AD.
