The behavioral variant of AD is emphasized and described in detail, in addition to its comparison with other variants. Furthermore, the newly developed diagnostic criteria and diagnostic approach are explained and applied for clinical practice in neurology. Principles of management and treatment for behavioral variants are highlighted. Three cases are reported to illustrate different courses of pathophysiology in behavioral variants in AD.
