AB  - Alzheimer's  disease  (AD)  is  the  most  common  neurodegenerative  disorder  encountered  by  the  practicing  geriatrician.  However,  a  sizable  number  of  other  neurodegenerative  diseases  will  be  seen  in  a  typical  practice,  rendering  a  working  knowledge  of  these  disorders  critical  for  practicing  clinicians.  This  chapter  provides  an  overview  of  the  more  common  neurodegenerative  disorders  with  emphasis  on  those  that  influence  behavior  and  cognition  early  in  the  course.  We  begin  by  reviewing  the  clinical  approach  to  neurodegenerative  cognitive  disorders  and  then  review  the  clinical  presentation,  epidemiology,  and  examination  findings  of  the  more  common  neurodegenerative  syndromes.  We  attempt  to  link  clinical  presentation  to  anatomy  and  neuropathology  whenever  possible.
