Hormones, cognition, and dementia : state of the art and emergent therapeutic strategies /

"Abundant evidence from basic science studies supports the biological plausibility of estrogens (and perhaps androgens) as effective treatments for cognitive aging and dementia. Chapters within this book present compelling evidence from epidemiology, genetics, and basic cell culture and animal...
