Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia accounting for 50–60% of all dementia cases. This chapter briefly reviews the history of Alzheimer’s disease and provides an overview of the clinical syndromes associated with Alzheimer pathology and their associated neuroimaging findings. 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.
