    Abraham Fisher, Maurizio Memo, Fabrizio Stocchi, Israel Hanin, editors.
    Summary: The subject matter of the ADPD conferences is unique in that it deals not only with issues related individually to Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, but also with the integration of these and other related diseases. The most up-to-date techniques and research findings are illustrated in this volume.
