TL;DR
In recent years most investigators have agreed that it is essentially identical to the most common form of senile dementia, which is thus calledSenile dementia of the Alzheimer type, or SDAT, which was originally described as a presenile disor der occurring before age 65.
Abstract
The brain's default mode network consists of discrete, bilateral and symmetrical cortical areas, in the medial and lateral parietal, medial prefrontal, and medial and lateral temporal cortices of the human, nonhuman primate, cat, and rodent brains. Its ...Read More

A simplified, scored form of the cognitive mental status examination, the “Mini-Mental State” (MMS) which includes eleven questions, requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely.

The expectation of mental disorder shows a steep increase with advancing chronological age, and beyond 75 years a large part of this increase is accounted for by disorders associated with degenerative changes in the central nervous system for which the authors lack remedies at the present time.

Large, widespread reductions in the activities of ChAT and AChE were found in tissues from SDAT cases, while GAD activities were reduced in 3 of the 20 regions investigated.

It is suggested that Alzheimer's disease is a primary degenerative nerve-cell disorder and not the result of accelerated ageing, and there is selective loss of neocortical cholinergic neurones.

58 Citations2007David Geldmacher
Revised treatment guidelines for Alzheimer's disease should address newer medications and more recent outcomes considerations, as well as provide guidance on how long to continue and when to discontinue pharmacotherapy for AD.

It appears that some local factor is associated with the discrete increase of silicon in the Alzheimer plaque, and total silicon showed no consistent corresponding increase in the cerebrum as a whole, in various systemic organs, or in various body fluids.

The authors discuss the possibility that the enzyme may be liberated and describe a method by which acid phosphatase, too, can be made visible in sections.
