Abstract
The neuropsychiatric symptoms associated with vascular dementia (VaD) vary widely, from mild cognitive impairment to severe dementia. They depend not only on the location of ischaemic damage but also on the pathogenic process involved. This paper discusses the rich and complex picture presented by V aD, and the challenges faced by the researcher of this condition.
