Springer Cerebral Ischemia and Dementia - Springer Medical Reference

Cerebral Ischemia and Dementia by Springer offers a comprehensive examination of dementia following cerebral ischemia, a condition that has received limited academic attention compared to Alzheimer-type dementia. This medical reference synthesises brain morphology, neurochemistry, and clinical aspects specific to post-ischaemic dementia, providing healthcare practitioners and researchers with detailed analysis of how ischaemic events lead to cognitive decline. The book explores the similarities and differences between ischaemic dementia and Alzheimer-type dementia across multiple dimensions: morphological and morphobiological changes in brain tissue during ageing and under pathological conditions, neuropathochemistry of post-mortem brain tissue from affected patients, and clinical presentations. This authoritative text bridges the gap in medical literature by collecting expert contributions that address the complex relationship between cerebral ischaemia and dementia development, making it an essential resource for neurologists, internal medicine practitioners, and neuroscience researchers seeking to understand the mechanisms and management of post-ischaemic cognitive impairment.
