Staging of Alzheimer's disease-related neurofibrillary changes.
Heiko Braak,Eva Braak +1 more
TL;DR: Specific immunocytochemical methods (AT8) permit evaluation of neuronal changes well before the actual formation of neurofibrillary tangles and neuropil threads, which facilitates recognition of even subtle pathologic changes throughout the entire extent of cortical territories such as the transentorhinal and entorHinal regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurodegenerative Diseases Target Large-Scale Human Brain Networks
TL;DR: It is shown that five different neurodegenerative syndromes cause circumscribed atrophy within five distinct, healthy, human intrinsic functional connectivity networks, and a direct link between intrinsic connectivity and gray matter structure is discovered.

TL;DR: A practical guide for the implementation of recently revised National Institute on Aging–Alzheimer's Association guidelines for the neuropathologic assessment of Alzheimer’s disease is presented.

Neural Synchrony in Brain Disorders: Relevance for Cognitive Dysfunctions and Pathophysiology
TL;DR: Evidence that certain brain disorders, such as schizophrenia, epilepsy, autism, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's are associated with abnormal neural synchronization is reviewed to suggest close correlations between abnormalities in neuronal synchronization and cognitive dysfunctions.

Molecular, Structural, and Functional Characterization of Alzheimer's Disease: Evidence for a Relationship between Default Activity, Amyloid, and Memory

TL;DR: One possibility is that lifetime cerebral metabolism associated with regionally specific default activity predisposes cortical regions to AD-related changes, including amyloid deposition, metabolic disruption, and atrophy, which may be part of a network with the medial temporal lobe whose disruption contributes to memory impairment.

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.

Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease
TL;DR: The purpose of the meeting was to identify the most important scientific research opportunities and the crucial clinical and technical issues that influence the progress of research on the diagnosis of AD.

Alzheimer's disease: cell-specific pathology isolates the hippocampal formation.
TL;DR: Examination of temporal lobe structures from Alzheimer patients reveals a specific cellular pattern of pathology of the subiculum of the hippocampal formation and layers II and IV of the entorhinal cortex that isolates the hippocampus from much of its input and output and probably contributes to the memory disorder in Alzheimer patients.

Anatomical correlates of the distribution of the pathological changes in the neocortex in Alzheimer disease
TL;DR: Data on the severity of the pathological involvement in different areas of the neocortex and the laminar distribution and the clustering of the tangles support the suggestion that the pathological changes in Alzheimer disease affect regions that are interconnected by well-defined groups of connections and that the disease process may extend along the connecting fibers.

TL;DR: The temporal lobe cortex and hippocampus were the areas most severely affected by the increased neurofibrillary tangle formation in senile dementia due to Alzheimer's disease.
