The Association of Ventral Tegmental Area Histopathology With Adult Dementia
Abstract
Six cases of adult dementia with mesolimbic pathology are reported. The core clinical syndrome consists of parkinsonism, progressive dementia, and behavioral disturbances (generally depression). The histopathologic findings uniformly include a loss of pigmented neurons in the ventral tegmental area plus neurofibrillary tangles and/or cell loss in the entorhinal cortex and pyramidal cell layer of the hippocampus (perforant pathway). Neuronal depletion in the ventral tegmental area frequently is associated with similar cell loss in the adjacent substantia nigra and in the locus ceruleus. The development of neurofibrillary tangles in the perforant pathway occurs in the absence of senile plaques and is possibly related to diminished dopaminergic input.

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.
