More than 6 million people in the United States and millions more around the world have Alzheimer’s, the most common form of dementia. Its telltale “biomarkers” are brain-clogging amyloid plaques and abnormal tau protein that leads to neuron-killing tangles. advertisement Sign up for Morning ...

The key area of the brain where these activations took place was the hippocampus, an area of the brain known to be affected early in Alzheimer’s disease. (Indeed, the test was originally devised to assess the ability of this area of thebrain, since the hippocampus is known to be critical...
Early dementia incidence studies in the United States relied primarily on medical record review.1,2 Such studies can be powerful but may be limited by changing diagnostic methods, record completeness, or failure to ascertain some types of cases. Long-standing cohorts primarily formed for the study...

A specific WAIS subtest pattern has recently been shown to occur more frequently in cases of dementia of the Alzheimer's type (DAT) than in cases of multi-infarct dementia (Fuld, 1984; Brinkman & Braun, 1984). To date, only one study has examined the frequency of this WAIS pattern in ...

The proposed model is able to effectively identify CN and AD subjects based on MRI data, clearly outperfo...
