Journal ArticleDOI

Upregulation of choline acetyltransferase activity in hippocampus and frontal cortex of elderly subjects with mild cognitive impairment.

TL;DR: Cognitive deficits in MCI and early AD are not associated with the loss of ChAT and occur despite regionally specific upregulation, suggesting that the earliest cognitive deficits in AD involve brain changes other than simply cholinergic system loss.
Journal ArticleDOI

Loss and atrophy of layer II entorhinal cortex neurons in elderly people with mild cognitive impairment.

TL;DR: Autopsy data indicate that atrophy and loss of layer II entorhinal cortex neurons occur in elderly subjects with mild cognitive impairment prior to the onset of dementia and suggests that these changes are not exacerbated in early Alzheimer's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinicopathological findings following intraventricular glial-derived neurotrophic factor treatment in a patient with Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: There was no evidence of significant regeneration of nigrostriatal neurons or intraparenchymal diffusion of the intracerebroventricular GDNF to relevant brain regions in a 65-year-old man with Parkinson's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relation of cerebral infarctions to dementia and cognitive function in older persons

TL;DR: Cerebral infarctions are associated with a twofold increase in odds of dementia, and odds are higher in persons with multiple, large, or clinically evident infarction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Decision rules guiding the clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease in two community-based cohort studies compared to standard practice in a clinic-based cohort study.

TL;DR: P prediction rules to guide the clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in two community-based cohort studies without the use of informant interviews, neuroimaging, blood work or routine case conferencing hold promise for reducing the operational costs of epidemiologic studies of aging and AD.
