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

## Abstract We compared the clinical and neuropsychological pattern of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease with dementia (PDβd). Sixteen patients clinically diagnosed with DLB were compared with two groups of patients with PDβd (n = 15) and AD (n = 16
The topographic distribution of brain atrophy was quantified by image analysis of fixed coronal brain slices from 12 patients dying with Huntington's disease (HD) and from 4 other patients dying with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). In HD, atrophy was maximal within the caudate nucleus, putamen
Introduction[ Sleep disturbances are common in healthy old age and in dementia syndromes[ Polysomnography has demonstrated typical changes in both Alzheimer|s disease "AD# and dementia with Lewy bodies "DLB# with AD being characterised by sundowning and sleep apnoea and DLB patients showing more dis
## Abstract ## Objective To demonstrate the exact nature of the cognitive profile of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) on standardized neuropsychological tests including the Wechsler Adult Intelligence ScaleββRevised (WAISβR) and the Wechsler Memory ScaleββRevised (WMSβR). ## Design We examined th
## Abstract We describe the pattern of cognitive profiles within a communityβbased sample of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and dementia (PDD) using cluster analyses, and compare the results with data from patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Fifty pat
