Structural Correlates of Cognition in Dementia: Quantification and Assessment of Synapse Change

DeKosky, Steven T., Scheff, Stephen W., Styren, Scot D.·1996·Neurodegeneration

Abstract

Dementia results from a combination of structural and neurochemical pathologies. The most reliable index of cognition in both postmortem and biopsied AD brain is synapse loss.

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.
