A phase I trial of deep brain stimulation of memory circuits in Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that fornix/hypothalamus deep brain stimulation (DBS) could modulate neurophysiological activity in these pathological circuits and possibly produce clinical benefits in Alzheimer's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical, genetic, and neuropathologic characteristics of posterior cortical atrophy

TL;DR: PCA is a distinctive dementia syndrome in which the most pronounced pathologic involvement is in the occipitoparietal regions independent of the specific underlying pathology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Presymptomatic cognitive and neuroanatomical changes in genetic frontotemporal dementia in the Genetic Frontotemporal dementia Initiative (GENFI) study: a cross-sectional analysis

- 01 Mar 2015 - 
TL;DR: Structural imaging and cognitive changes can be identified 5-10 years before expected onset of symptoms in asymptomatic adults at risk of genetic frontotemporal dementia, which could help to define biomarkers that can stage presymPTomatic disease and track disease progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Consensus classification of posterior cortical atrophy

TL;DR: A classification framework for posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) is proposed to improve the uniformity of definition of the syndrome in a variety of research settings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of memory fMRI response among normal, MCI, and Alzheimer’s patients

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses to determine whether an fMRI memory encoding task distinguishes among cognitively normal elderly individuals, patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and patients with early Alzheimer's disease (AD).
