title: [Neuropsychological exploration in dementia: presentation of a neuropsychologic battery in the study of Alzheimer's disease].
abstract: The neuropsychological battery PIENC-BARCELONA-86, in experimental phase, is being presented. The study is being done with 37 patients with Alzheimer's disease and 37 control subjects. The selection of the battery's subtests that differ more significantly the pathologies from the control subjects, give us a neuropsychological outline typical in dementia patients and specially in the Alzheimer's disease. The sensitivity and specificity of this battery is of a 67.6% and 92.6%, respectively, that improves up to 100%, when you differ inside the pathological group two subgroups: mild and moderate.
