title: Recent research into dementia.
abstract: In this paper, recent advances in the understanding of Alzheimer's disease that are relevant to the practising physician are reviewed, and an attempt is made to give researchers into Alzheimer's disease an overview into research areas other than their own. The fields covered include clinical presentation and investigation, neurochemistry, neuropathological abnormalities, immunological and viral aspects of aetiology and approaches to treatment.
