  1. Revised criteria for diagnosis and staging of Alzheimer's disease: Alzheimer's Association Workgroup

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2024-06-27 Biomarkers

    The National Institute on Aging and the Alzheimer's Association convened three separate work groups in 2011 and single work groups in 2012 and 2018 to create recommendations for the diagnosis and characterization of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  2. Appropriate use criteria for lumbar puncture and cerebrospinal fluid testing in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 72 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2018-10-10 Tau biomarkers

    In anticipation of the emergence of more reliable CSF analysis platforms, the manuscript offers important guidance to health-care practitioners and suggestions for implementation and future research.

  3. Validation of the neuropathologic criteria of the third consortium for dementia with Lewy bodies for prospectively diagnosed cases

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Journal of neuropathology and experimental neurology 2008-07-01 Brain scans and imaging

    There is limited information on the validity of the pathologic criteria of the Third Consortium on Dementia with Lewy bodies (CDLB), and none are based on prospectively diagnosed cases.

  4. Cytoarchitectonic definition of prefrontal areas in the normal human cortex: I. Remapping of areas 9 and 46 using quantitative criteria

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Cerebral cortex (New York, N.Y. : 1991) 1995-07-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Layers III and V exhibit clearer sublamination in area 9, while layer IV is also somewhat wider in area 46 than in area 9 (9.3% vs 6.4% of cortical thickness); the overall thickness of the cortex is the same in both areas.
