Abstract
The history of dementia is probably as old as mankind itself, but in recent years, considerable advances have been made in our understanding of epidemiology, pathogenesis and diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders. The scope of this paper is to review the history of three men, Alzheimer, Pick, Lewy, that improved understanding of dementias and that led to a completely new attitude toward these diseases.
