Subject Index.

Peter A Lichtenberg is the director of the Institute of Gerontology and professor of Psychology at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, Daniel L Murman is the director of Geriatric, Neurology and Memory Disorder Clinic and assistant professor in the departments of neurology and ophthalmology at Michigan State University, East Lansing, while Alan M Mellow is the chief of the Division of Geriatric Psychiatry and associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

One of the first cases of dementia was described by professor Alois Alzheimer, Germany, in 1906. He first examined Auguste D, a 51-year old female patient, at Frankfurt hospital in 1901 and continued to follow her case after he left for the Royal Psychiatric Clinic in Munich, up until her death on April 8th, 1906. Even after her death he went on to study the neuropathological features of her illness. Shortly after her death he presented her case at the 37th Conference of German Psychiatrist in Tubingen on Nevember 4th, 1906 in which he described her symptoms as progressive cognitive impairment, focal symptoms, hallucinations, delusions, psychosocial incompetence with the following neurobiological changes found at autopsy: plaques, neurofibrillary tangles and artheriosclerotic changes. Alzheimer's disease (AD) effects about 2-3% of persons at age 65 years with a doubling of incidence for every five years of age afterwards.
AD is the most common cause of dementia in western countries. Approximately 10 percent of all persons over 70 years have significant memory loss and more than half is the result of AD, which translates to about 3-4 million persons in the United States.
