Cerebrovascular pathology abounds in Alzheimer's disease. Changes in the endothelium, disruption of the blood-brain barrier and amyloid deposition in the cerebral blood vessels are almost universal in advanced cases. Do these changes represent the cause, the effect, or the consequences of a common pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease? This volume addresses some of these issues by presenting new knowledge gained from a diversity of fields. Recognition of the mechanisms involved will open new possibilities for therapeutic trials.
