In the course of the diseabe the deterioration of this woman's cognitive functioning ("allgemeine Verblödung"), resulting in a complete state of amnesia, apraxia and agnosia , became more and more outstanding. After a 4ικ7 years duration of the illness the patient died in a state of complete deterioration ("völlig stumpf"). At autopsy the brain of this patient macroscopically showed a regular atrophy with no macroscopic foci and an artenosclens of the greater vessels. Microscopic examination of the Bielschowski-stamed sections of the neocortex showed "a very peculiar transformation of the neuroiilamenLs" within the nerve cells, eventually resulting in cell-death, and replacement of the nerve cell by a "curled up bundle of filaments". Although the origin of this pathological change of neurofilaments remained unclear, Alzheimer suggested that this mtracellulary change, now known as "neurofibrillary tangle" (NFT), was due to disease- transformed neurofilaments with deposition of a morbid product of neuronal metabolism (Alzheimer, 1907). Alzheimer would probably not have had the slightest idea that this case history, the first publication of which was only the title of the lecture (Alzheimer, 1906), was the beginning of the gigantic investigation effort that has been performed everywhere in the world, up to now, into every possible aspect of the disease that, after the nosology of Kraepelin (1910), is now known as Alzheimer's disease (AD), or, when the onset of the disease is after the age of 65 years, senile dementia of the Alzheimer type (SDAT). The aim of the general introduction of this thesis is to give some data obtained in epidemiologic research, as well as to report some of the hypotheses on the pathogenesis of the disease. Before focussing on the latter issue, the criteria for the 2 clinical diagnosis of "probable Alzheimer's disease" and the neuropathologic diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease will be discussed. 1.1 EPIDEMIOLOGY OF ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE One of the reasons of the ever-growing research effort into Alzheimer's disease is the fact that in the developed as well as in the less developed countries there is an increase of the elderly population compared to the younger. Epidemiological studies have shown that, although other factors have been mentioned, age is the most important risk factor for acquiring Alzheimer's disease. With the doubling of the population of the very old within one generation, this would mean that there is coming an epidemic of dementia and, since more than 50% of the dementias is caused by Alzheimer's disease, of Alzheimer's disease (Henderson, 1986). Apart from the human drama that is behind every single case of this dreadful disease which eventually "evaporates" the human personality, there is also an economic aspect linked to it. A reasonable estimate for the dutch population is that 5% of the people of 65 years of age and older suffers from a severe form of dementia, a total of 80.000-100.000 people (Schulte, 1989), whereas at present in the nursing homes in the Netherlands there are only about 50.000 beds available, 20.000 of which are reserved for psychogeriatric patients. The nursing costs in the nursing homes amount to Hfl. 200,= a day at present. It is estimated that with the same quality of care, in the year 2000, a total 61.200 beds, 25.000 of which for the psychogeriatric patients, are needed in the nursing homes (Schrijvers, 1989). Furthermore, in ten years from now, the population of people of 65 years and older will be increased with 20% and the group of 85 years and older, with a prevalence of severe dementia of about 20%, will be increased with 40% (Henderson, 1986)! There is no need to further illustrate the enormous extra economic burden, which will be more in the order of billions than of millions of guilders, this increase will place on the community to nurse these severely demented people. 3 1.2 DIAGNOSIS OF ALZHEIMER'S DISFASE The original definition of Alzheimer's disease was based on the pathologic lesions that were found in microscopical examination of brain tissue. This neuropathologic confirmation is still needed for the definitive diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (McKhann et al., 1984; Khachaturian, 198Ь; Tierney et al., 1988). The clinical criteria for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease include insidious onset and progressive impairment of memory and other cognitive functions with an intact consciousness. There are no motor, sensory or coordination deficits early in the disease (McKhann et al., 1984). On clinical grounds the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease can be established with an accuracy of 81%- 88% (Tierney et al., 1988). It should be emphasized that clinical criteria can only establish the diagnosis of probable Alzheimer's disease, and that it is very important to exclude systemic disorders or other brain diseases that in and of themselves could account for the progressive deficits in memory and cognition and some of which are reversible.

Only primates have temporal lobes, which are largest in man, accommodating 17% of the cerebral cortex and including areas with auditory, olfactory, vestibular, visual and linguistic functions. The hippocampal formation, on the medial side of the lobe, includes the parahippocampal gyrus, subiculum, hippocampus, dentate gyrus, and associated white matter, notably the fimbria, whose fibres continue into the fornix. The hippocampus is an inrolled gyrus that bulges into the temporal horn of the lateral ventricle. Association fibres connect all parts of the cerebral cortex with the parahippocampal gyrus and subiculum, which in turn project to the dentate gyrus. The largest efferent projection of the subiculum and hippocampus is through the fornix to the hypothalamus. The choroid fissure, alongside the fimbria, separates the temporal lobe from the optic tract, hypothalamus and midbrain. The amygdala comprises several nuclei on the medial aspect of the temporal lobe, mostly anterior the hippocampus and indenting the tip of the temporal horn. The amygdala receives input from the olfactory bulb and from association cortex for other modalities of sensation.

Evaluation in forensic psycho-affective pathology Gheorghe S. Dragoi1, Petru Razvan Melinte2, Liviu Radu3 _________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: The authors achieved a macroanatomic analysis on the location and relations of neuronal structures and elements inside transitional mesocortex and archicortex in order to visualize the connection interfaces of greater limbic system. The analysis was performed on human encephalon using subsystems generally homologated by neuroanatomists: lobus limbicus, hippocampal formation, prefrontal cortex, lobus insularis and subcortical structures. Equally, they performed a research of the literature on the implication of connection interfaces from paralimbic, limbic and archicortex areas, into forensic psycho-affective ortology and pathology. The study draws the attention to time and space development of terminology and homologation of some new concepts bound to multifunctional subsystems such as: medial temporal lobe memory system, prefrontal cortex and limbic midbrain area. Key Words: greater limbic system, transitional mesocortex, archicortex euroanatomy registered remarkable progress (proneocortical or paralimbic zone and periarchicortical or by the diversity of morph-functional and limbic zone); hippocampal formation (with two regions: N anatomic-clinical

  • Neocortex and Allocortex Respond Differentially to Cellular Stress in Vitro and Aging in Vivo
    Neocortex and Allocortex Respond Differentially to Cellular Stress In Vitro and Aging In Vivo Jessica M. Posimo, Amanda M. Titler, Hailey J. H. Choi, Ajay S. Unnithan, Rehana K. Leak* Division of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mylan School of Pharmacy, Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States of America Abstract In Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, the allocortex accumulates aggregated proteins such as synuclein and tau well before neocortex. We present a new high-throughput model of this topographic difference by microdissecting neocortex and allocortex from the postnatal rat and treating them in parallel fashion with toxins. Allocortical cultures were more vulnerable to low concentrations of the proteasome inhibitors MG132 and PSI but not the oxidative poison H2O2. The proteasome appeared to be more impaired in allocortex because MG132 raised ubiquitin-conjugated proteins and lowered proteasome activity in allocortex more than neocortex. Allocortex cultures were more vulnerable to MG132 despite greater MG132-induced rises in heat shock protein 70, heme oxygenase 1, and catalase. Proteasome subunits PA700 and PA28 were also higher in allocortex cultures, suggesting compensatory adaptations to greater proteasome impairment. Glutathione and ceruloplasmin were not robustly MG132-responsive and were basally higher in neocortical cultures. Notably, neocortex cultures became as vulnerable to MG132 as allocortex when glutathione synthesis or autophagic defenses were inhibited. Conversely, the glutathione precursor N-acetyl cysteine rendered allocortex resilient to MG132. Glutathione and ceruloplasmin levels were then examined in vivo as a function of age because aging is a natural model of proteasome inhibition and oxidative stress. Allocortical glutathione levels rose linearly with age but were similar to neocortex in whole tissue lysates.

  • The Structural Model: a Theory Linking Connections, Plasticity, Pathology, Development and Evolution of the Cerebral Cortex
    Brain Structure and Function https://doi.org/10.1007/s00429-019-01841-9 REVIEW The Structural Model: a theory linking connections, plasticity, pathology, development and evolution of the cerebral cortex Miguel Ángel García‑Cabezas1 · Basilis Zikopoulos2,3 · Helen Barbas1,3 Received: 11 October 2018 / Accepted: 29 January 2019 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract The classical theory of cortical systematic variation has been independently described in reptiles, monotremes, marsupials and placental mammals, including primates, suggesting a common bauplan in the evolution of the cortex. The Structural Model is based on the systematic variation of the cortex and is a platform for advancing testable hypotheses about cortical organization and function across species, including humans. The Structural Model captures the overall laminar structure of areas by dividing the cortical architectonic continuum into discrete categories (cortical types), which can be used to test hypotheses about cortical organization. By type, the phylogenetically ancient limbic cortices—which form a ring at the base of the cerebral hemisphere—are agranular if they lack layer IV, or dysgranular if they have an incipient granular layer IV. Beyond the dysgranular areas, eulaminate type cortices have six layers. The number and laminar elaboration of eulaminate areas differ depending on species or cortical system within a species. The construct of cortical type retains the topology of the systematic variation of the cortex and forms the basis for a predictive Structural Model, which has successfully linked cortical variation to the laminar pattern and strength of cortical connections, the continuum of plasticity and stability of areas, the regularities in the distribution of classical and novel markers, and the preferential vulnerability of limbic areas to neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases.

Neurological Surgery, Semmes-Murphey Clinic, Memphis, USA Corresponding author: Jaafar Basma, [email protected] Abstract Background Neuroanatomists have long been fascinated by the complex topographic organization of the cerebrum. We examined historical and modern phylogenetic theories pertaining to microneurosurgical anatomy and intrinsic brain tumor development. Methods Literature and history related to the study of anatomy, evolution, and tumor predilection of the limbic and paralimbic regions were reviewed. We used vertebrate histological cross-sections, photographs from Albert Rhoton Jr.’s dissections, and original drawings to demonstrate the utility of evolutionary temporal causality in understanding anatomy. Results Phylogenetic neuroanatomy progressed from the substantial works of Alcmaeon, Herophilus, Galen, Vesalius, von Baer, Darwin, Felsenstein, Klingler, MacLean, and many others. We identified two major modern evolutionary theories: “triune brain” and topological phylogenetics. While the concept of “triune brain” is speculative and highly debated, it remains the most popular in the current neurosurgical literature. Phylogenetics inspired by mathematical topology utilizes computational, statistical, and embryological data to analyze the temporal transformations leading to three-dimensional topographic anatomy. These transformations have shaped well-defined surgical planes, which can be exploited by the neurosurgeon to access deep cerebral targets. The microsurgical anatomy of the cerebrum and the limbic system is redescribed by incorporating the dimension of temporal causality.
