Abstract:
Most of the research activities on dementias have been and are focused on Alzheimer's disease. With regard to the treatment possibility and the cause and pathogenesis of cognitive impairment, however, non-Alzheimer dementias are also very important. We should extend our efforts to other dementing diseases than Alzheimer's disease.
