This book represents the third in a series of International Conferences
related to Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's (PD) diseases. The first one
took place in Eilat, Israel, in 1985; and the second one in Kyoto,
Japan, in 1989. This book contains the full text of oral and poster
presentations from the Third International Conference on Alzheimer's and
Parkinson's Diseases: Recent Developments, held in Chicago, Illinois,
U.S.A. on November 1-6, 1993. The Chicago Conference was attended by 270
participants. The Scientific Program was divided into nine oral
sessions, a keynote presentation, and a poster session. The conference
culminated in a Round Table Discussion involving all of the participants
in the conference. The four and one-half day meeting served as an
excellent medium for surveying the current status of clinical and
preclinical developments in AD and PD. There were 59 oral presentations
and 93 posters. This book incorporates a majority of both.
