Hippocampal atrophy secondary to entorhinal cortical degeneration in Alzheimer-type dementia

Mizutani, Toshio, Kasahara, Mari·1997·Neuroscience Letters

Abstract

Pathological comparison between cases with Alzheimer-type dementia (ATD) and the non-demented cases with infarct showed that hippocampal atrophy in ATD could be caused mainly by degeneration of the stratum lacunosum-radiatum rather than neuronal loss in the pyramidal layer of the hippocampus, and that degeneration of the stratum lacunosum-radiatum could be secondary mainly to the entorhinal cortical degeneration.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • There is no consensus about which hippocampal subfields become atrophic earliest in AD or which neuropathological change is primarily implicated in volume reduction.

    “There is no consensus about which hippocampal subfields become atrophic earliest in the course of Alzheimer's disease (AD).”
  • Our finding of particularly severe volume reduction of subicular complex in AD is consistent with neuropathological observations made by Mizutani and Kasahara.

    “Our finding of a particularly severe volume reduction of the subicular complex in AD is consistent with the neuropathological observations made by Mizutani and Kasahara [15], [16].”
  • Mizutani and Kasahara attributed severe volume loss of these structures to isomorphic fibrillary gliosis resulting from early and severe degeneration of the perforant pathway while penetrating the hippocampus through the subicular field.

    “They attributed the particularly severe volume loss of these structures to isomorphic fibrillary gliosis resulting from early and severe degeneration of the perforant pathway while penetrating the hippocampus through the subicular field, in its course from the entorhinal cortex to the dentate gyrus.”
  • Mizutani and Kasahara reported disproportionate atrophy in subicular complex with respect to Ammon's horn fields and dentate gyrus in AD.

    “These authors investigating an autoptical series of AD patients reported disproportionate atrophy in the subicular complex with respect to Ammon's horn fields (CA1, 2, 3, and 4) and the dentate gyrus.”
  • This finding probably reflects severe degeneration of the perforant pathway while penetrating the hippocampus through the subicular field in its course from entorhinal cortex to dentate gyrus.

    “This finding is consistent with neuropathological observations in AD patients and probably reflects the severe degeneration of the perforant pathway while penetrating the hippocampus through the subicular field in its course from the entorhinal cortex to the dentate gyrus.”

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.
