Monoaminergic neuropathology in Alzheimer's disease.

TLDR
Special emphasis is given to the serotonergic dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) and noradrenergic LC, among the first to be affected by tau protein abnormalities in the course of sporadic AD, causing behavioral and cognitive symptoms of variable severity.

Tau and neuroinflammation: What impact for Alzheimer's Disease and Tauopathies?

TL;DR: The present review highlights the interplays existing between Tau pathology and the innate/adaptive immune responses and indicates an adaptive immune response takes place conjointly during the disease course.

A clinicopathological approach to the diagnosis of dementia

TL;DR: An overview of the salient features of the most common dementia subtypes — Alzheimer disease, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia and related syndromes, Lewy body dementias, and prion diseases — with an emphasis on neuropathology, relevant epidemiology, risk factors, and signature signs and symptoms is presented.

Locus coeruleus cellular and molecular pathology during the progression of Alzheimer’s disease

TL;DR: Observations suggest that noradrenergic LC cellular and molecular pathology is a prominent feature of prodromal disease that contributes to cognitive dysfunction and lend support to a rational basis for targeting LC neuroprotection as a disease modifying strategy.

Lymphatic drainage system of the brain: A novel target for intervention of neurological diseases

TL;DR: The clinical importance of ependymal route-based targeted gene therapy and intranasal drug administration in the brain by taking advantage of the unique role played by brain lymphatic pathways in the regulation of CSF flow and ISF/CSF exchange is highlighted.

“Mini-mental state”: A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician

TL;DR: A simplified, scored form of the cognitive mental status examination, the “Mini-Mental State” (MMS) which includes eleven questions, requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely.

A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician

TL;DR: The Mini-Mental State (MMS) as mentioned in this paper is a simplified version of the standard WAIS with eleven questions and requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely.

Clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease : report of the NINCDS-ADRDA Work Group under the auspices of Department of Health and Human Services Task Force on Alzheimer's Disease

TL;DR: The criteria proposed are intended to serve as a guide for the diagnosis of probable, possible, and definite Alzheimer's disease; these criteria will be revised as more definitive information becomes available.
