CORTICAL AND SUBCORTICAL ARGYROPHILIC GRAINS CHARACTERIZE A DISEASE ASSOCIATED WITH ADULT ONSET DEMENTIA
Abstract
Cortical and subcortical argyrophilic grains characterize a disease associated with adult onset dementia Unusual cytoskeleton abnormalities were found in the brains of 28 individuals afflicted with adult onset dementia. Most conspicuous were small spindle‐shaped argyrophilic grains loosely scattered throughout the neuropil. Additionally, coiled bodies of silver‐stained filaments were encountered, mainly located within the white matter close to the cortical grey matter. Argyrophilic grains and coiled bodies contained dense accumulations of straight filaments with a diameter of about 9 nm. The argyrophilic grains were found in abundance within sector CA1 of the Ammon's horn and layer Pre‐β of the entorhinal region. A slightly less dense scattering of the grains occurred in layer IIIab of the adjoining temporal isocortex, insular cortex and orbitofrontal cortex. The basolateral amygdaloid complex and the hypothalamic lateral tuberal nucleus were the most affected subcortical structures. Deeper brain stem nuclei merely showed a sparse number of grains or were devoid of them. Eighty brains of demented individuals were examined. Forty‐eight of them showed the features of Alzheimer's disease and four showed the features of Pick's disease. Twenty‐eight cases revealed the abnormalities under consideration. Ten showed exclusively argyrophilic grains and coiled bodies, while 16 also had neuritic plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and neuropil threads. One of the 28 cases was associated with Parkinson's disease and one showed features of both Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. Twenty brains of non‐demented individuals of about the same age and devoid or almost devoid of Alzheimer changes were used as controls. None of the control brains showed the presence of argyrophilic grains and coiled bodies. These changes, therefore, are considered the morphological substrate of an unknown disease associated with adult onset dementia.

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.
