ON THE COVER:
Alzheimer disease. Conceptual artwork of a brain and nerve cells to depict dementia due to Alzheimer disease. A sagittal slice through the brain is overlain with nerve cells. The nerve cells (neurons) have long axons and dendrites and cell bodies (triangular-shaped). At bottom the image of a face is repeated on a staircase, getting smaller as the staircase gets higher. Dementia is a general decline in mental ability and progressively gets worse. The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer disease in which the brain�s nerve cells degenerate and the size of the brain substance shrinks.
