  1. Temporal lobe regions on magnetic resonance imaging identify patients with early Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Archives of neurology 1993-09-01 Vascular contributions

    The results suggest that the hippocampus and the temporal horn of the lateral ventricles may be useful as antemortem markers of AD in mildly impaired patients.

  2. Atrophy of medial temporal lobes on MRI in "probable" Alzheimer's disease and normal ageing: diagnostic value and neuropsychological correlates.

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & Psychiatry 1992-10-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has shown a great reduction in medial temporal lobe and hippocampal volume of patients with Alzheimer's disease as compared to controls.

  3. Changes in brain functional connectivity in Alzheimer-type and multi-infarct dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 46 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 1992-10-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Clinical and neuropathological evaluation of elderly subjects with dementia has traditionally concentrated upon the focal distribution of brain disease, ignoring changes in the complex connections that link brain areas and that are crucial for cognition.

  4. Inverse relationship between education and parietotemporal perfusion deficit in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Annals of neurology 1992-09-01 How common it is

    A higher prevalence of dementia in individuals with fewer years of education has suggested that education may protect against Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  5. MR-based hippocampal volumetry in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 58 out of 100. Neurology 1992-01-01 Getting a diagnosis

    We evaluated a new magnetic resonance (MR)-based technique for performing volumetric measurements of temporal lobe structures.

  6. The Topographical and Neuroanatomical Distribution of Neurofibrillary Tangles and Neuritic Plaques in the Cerebral Cortex of Patients with Alzheimer's Disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Cerebral Cortex 1991 Brain tissue and pathology

    The distribution of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) and neuritic plaques (NPs) was mapped in 39 cortical areas of 11 brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  7. Quantitative NMR measurements of hippocampal atrophy in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Magnetic resonance in medicine 1988-10-01 Hippocampus size on brain scans

    Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging was employed to study 10 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and seven healthy elderly control subjects.

  8. The postmortem Alzheimer brain is a source of structurally and functionally intact astrocytic messenger RNA

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of neuroscience methods 1988-03-01 Biomarkers

    Although the precise role of astrocytes in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is currently undefined, studies carried out at the molecular level may lead to new insights into the functioning of this class of brain cells in dementia.

  9. MR signal abnormalities at 1.5 T in Alzheimer's dementia and normal aging

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 59 out of 100. AJR. American journal of roentgenology 1987-08-01 Risk factors

    The type, frequency, and extent of MR signal abnormalities in Alzheimer's disease and normal aging are a subject of controversy.

  10. Positron emission tomography in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. Neurology 1986-07-01 Getting a diagnosis

    Twenty-one patients with a clinical diagnosis of dementia of the Alzheimer's type (DAT) and 29 healthy, age-matched controls were studied using positron emission tomography (PET) and [18F]2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose to measure regional cerebral glucose consumption in the resting state.

  11. Regional cerebral metabolic alterations in dementia of the Alzheimer type: positron emission tomography with [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 46 out of 100. Journal of computer assisted tomography 1983-08-01 Getting a diagnosis

    Alzheimer disease is the most common cause of dementia in adults.
