Alzheimer's
Disease
- The
pathway concerning AD
- The
cortical atrophy leads to compensatory dilation of the cerebral ventricles
- "hydrocephalus ex vacuo"
- The
brain with more pronounced atrophy with Alzheimer's disease
- Alzheimer's
disease leads to cerebral atrophy, the external surface of the brain
with widened sulci and narrowed gyri, mostly over the frontal and parietal
regions
- Alzheimer's
disease, neurofibrillary tangle. The neurons demonstrate intracytoplasmic
proliferation of twisted filaments producing the visible "neurofibrillary
tangle" under the microscope. These are commonly found in the pyramidal
cells of the Hippocampus and the cerebral cortex. H and E stain, microscopic
- Alzheimer's
disease, neurofibrillary tangle. The tangles are best demonstrated with
Bielschowsky silver stain as shown here, microscopic
