Dementia is a syndrome caused by brain cell death. Neurodegenerative disease is behind most dementias. The word dementia describes a set of symptoms that may include memory loss and difficulties with thinking, problem-solving or language. Dementia is caused when the brain is damaged by diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease or a series of strokes. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia but not all dementia is due to Alzheimer's. Dementia will be of interest to all clinical disciplines involved in Dementia research and the care of individuals with Dementia and will be a valuable addition to many libraries and personal collections.
