Molecular Basis of the Neurodegenerative Disorders

Martin, Joseph B.·1999·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

Neurodegenerative disorders, which are chronic and progressive, are characterized by selective and symmetric loss of neurons in motor, sensory, or cognitive systems. Delineation of the patterns of cell loss and the identification of disease-specific cellular markers have aided in nosologic classification: senile plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, neuronal loss, and acetylcholine deficiency define Alzheimer's disease1,2; Lewy bodies and depletion of dopamine characterize Parkinson's disease3; cellular inclusions and swollen motor axons are found in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis4; and γ-aminobutyric acid–containing neurons of the neostriatum are lost in Huntington's disease.5 Mendelian inheritance can be demonstrated in many of these disorders . . .

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.
