title: Neurochemical correlates of dementia.
abstract: Studies of the neurochemical pathology of AD have indicated that early in the course of the disease, abnormalities of relatively few neurotransmitters are obvious. The most reliable and consistent changes are those seen in the cholinergic innervation of the cortex and the cortical pyramidal neurones. However, by the time of death there is usually considerable involvement of other neurones.
