Journal ArticleDOI

Parietal white matter lesions in Alzheimer’s disease are associated with cortical neurodegenerative pathology, but not with small vessel disease

TL;DR: Parietal W ML as seen on MRI should not invariably be interpreted as a surrogate biomarker for SVD as they may be indicative of cortical AD-pathology, and therefore, AD should also be considered as the main underlying cause for cognitive impairment in cases with parietal WML.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuropathologically mixed Alzheimer’s and Lewy body disease: burden of pathological protein aggregates differs between clinical phenotypes

TL;DR: It is shown that in neuropathologically mixed AD/DLB cases both the amount and the topographical distribution of pathological protein aggregates differed between distinct clinical phenotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI

TDP-43 pathology in Alzheimer's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies and ageing.

TL;DR: The validity of the T DP‐43 in AD staging scheme is not limited to AD and should be applied to assess TDP‐43 pathology in post mortem brains of aged individuals to further elucidate the role of TDP•43 pathologyIn age associated neurodegeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cortical tau load is associated with white matter hyperintensities

TL;DR: It is shown that increasing cortical HPτ burden independently predicted the severity of WMH indicating its potentially important role in the pathogenesis of WM damage.
