Alzheimer's Neurofibrillary Changes: A Topographic Study

HIRANO, ASAO·1962·Archives of Neurology

Abstract

Introduction The significance of Alzheimer's neurofibrillary changes has been actively discussed by neuropathologists over the past half a century, and numerous reports have been written concerning it. Their clinicoanatomical correlation with mental disease, their relation to senile plaques and other changes associated with aging, their cytological demonstration with silver impregnation techniques, as well as experimental attempts at their reproduction, have engaged many investigators. Topographic aspects of this neuronal alteration have been analyzed in certain parts of the central nervous system in a few conditions—the cerebral cortex in Alzheimer's disease and the senile psychoses, and the substantia nigra and brain stem in parkinsonism. Recent observations of neurofibrillary changes in 2 fatal neurologic diseases occurring on the island of Guam, the parkinsonism-dementia complex (Hirano, Kurland, Krooth, and Lessell1; Hirano, Malamud and Kurland2) and the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis syndrome (Malamud, Hirano and Kurland3), revealed their quite remarkable numbers and symmetric

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
