      abstract = {The wide acceptance of the amyloid cascade hypothesis has  led to vigorous development of disease-modifying drugs for  Alzheimer's disease, such as amyloid vaccinations and  gamma- or beta-secretase inhibitors. However, the fact that  clinical trials of these drugs have not yet yielded  satisfactory results has meant that for the time being  patients continue to be treated only with symptomatic  drugs. Currently, four such drugs are available: donepezil,  galantamine, rivastigmine, and memantine. In this book, the  four leading experts on each of these drugs explain their  practical pharmacology with the aim of providing a sound  basis for their use, which to date has been of questionable  proficiency. In addition, an introductory chapter considers  the basic theory of pharmacology for Alzheimer's disease  and the book closes with an overview of the ways in which  symptomatic drugs are used for dementia.},
