Coronal sections were used to make volumetric measurements of the hippocampus, ventricles, subarachnoid space, and brain parenchyma. The hippocampal vo
## Abstract Regional and global cerebral atrophy are inevitable features of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We assessed volumes and atrophy rates of brain structures in patients with familial AD during the period that they developed symptoms. Five patients with presymptomatic AD and 20 controls had two o
The extent of regional atrophy in ten patients, aged 52-74 years, dying with Alzheimer's disease uncomplicated pathologically by the effects of advanced old age or cerebrovascular disease, was quantified by image analysis of fixed coronal brain slices. Atrophy of the cerebral cortex was globally dis
