Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease, characterized by progressive memory impairment, and functional deterioration, and it is believed to affect over 55 million people worldwide. Despite significant advances in neuroscience and clinical practice, early diagnosis and effective therapeutic strategies remain limited.
This Special Issue, “Alzheimer’s Disease: Symptoms, Early Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention”, welcomes original articles, reviews, and case reports that address the multifactorial nature of AD. We invite contributions that include clinical and neuropathological characterization, advances in neuroimaging, neurophysiology, and other biomarkers, and innovative diagnostic tools for early detection. Equally emphasized are pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, lifestyle and dietary approaches, and preventive strategies aimed at delaying onset or mitigating progression.
Dr. Vasileios Papaliagkas
