Pick's disease and Pick complex

About this book

Pick's Disease and Pick Complex is the first book devoted to Pick's disease and its clinical and pathological manifestations. It sorts through the existing patchwork of terms and entities, and clearly presents the clinical concepts encompassed in this family of syndromes. This volume covers clinical depression, neuropathology, biology, and neurogenetic aspects of the disease. It compares Pick's disease to Alzheimer's, the multiple atrophies, and other neurodegenerative diseases. It also offers a critical review of the pathology and biology involved in other focal atrophies that share certain conditions with Pick's disease. It offers clinical information essential for neurologists, neuropsychologists, geriatricians, psychiatrists, and neuropathologists. It is also an invaluable resource for graduate students and researchers.
