"Although a disease-altering treatment has yet to be found, our understanding of Alzheimer's disease (AD) genetics and neurobiology has increased exponentially over the past few decades, as has our ability to detect Alzheimer's pathology using various biomarkers. In this chapter, we will review the genetic, pathological, and behavioral features of Alzheimer's disease and discuss how the use of biomarkers for the detection of AD has potentially opened up new avenues for the prevention (or possible reversal) of AD"--Provided by publisher.
