TLDR
Correlation analyses demonstrated that delayed spatial recall (as well as choice reaction time) is highly correlated with clinically evaluated global cognitive status, as well as with tests of verbal recall.

A new one-trial test for neurobiological studies of memory in rats. III. Spatial vs. non-spatial working memory

TL;DR: There is no correlation between the three tests which argues for a multiple form of working memory, especially a spatial and a non-spatial one, and the level of discrimination in the spatial recognition test was significantly reduced compared to that of control.

Age‐associated memory impairment: Proposed diagnostic criteria and measures of clinical change — report of a national institute of mental health work group

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed diagnostic criteria and measures of clinical change for age-associated memory impairment and developed a set of diagnostic criteria based on the report of a national institute of mental health work group.

On neurodegenerative diseases, models, and treatment strategies: lessons learned and lessons forgotten a generation following the cholinergic hypothesis.

TL;DR: A review of the current status of the cholinergic hypothesis in the context of continuing efforts to improve upon existing treatments for Alzheimer's disease and explores the role that animal models might continue to play as discussed by the authors.

Impact of aging on hippocampal function: plasticity, network dynamics, and cognition.

TL;DR: Studies of the effects of aging on hippocampal anatomy, physiology, plasticity, and network dynamics may lead to a better understanding of age-related cognitive deficits, including deficits in the induction and maintenance of long-term potentiation and lower thresholds for depotentiation and long- term depression.

Cholinergic mechanisms in learning, memory and dementia: a review of recent evidence

TL;DR: Recent findings in humans indicate that antimuscarinic drugs do not model the deficits seen in AD, and attempts to develop cholinergic pharmacotherapies for these deficits in AD are based on questionable assumptions.

The Global Deterioration Scale for assessment of primary degenerative dementia.

TL;DR: The authors describe a Global Deterioration Scale for the assessment of primary degenerative dementia and delineation of its stages and have used it successfully for more than 5 years and validated it against behavioral, neuroanatomic, and neurophysiologic measures in patients with primary degeneratives dementia.

Evaluating storage, retention, and retrieval in disordered memory and learning

TL;DR: These new methods provide simultaneous analysis of storage, retention, and retrieval during verbal learning because they let the patient show learning by spontaneous retrieval without csnfounding by continual presentation.
