From the reviews:
A critical issue involved is the distinction between normal and pathological aging. This excellent new book covers this issue with an excellent review of the neuroscience of aging. Written and edited by a group of international neuroscientists, the book is a welcome addition to the psychiatric literature. & This is an exceptional book on the behavioral neuroscience of aging. Reading this informative book would enhance researchers and clinicians knowledge base. (Michael Joel Schrift, Doodys Review Service, August, 2012)
The increased life expectancy seen in the past century constitutes an unprecedented economic challenge to modern societies.? Public health perspectives aside, people do not want to simply live longer; they want to age successfully and remain physically and mentally active in their later years. ?Majl$
