Document Summary
Causes problems with keeping multiple things online at one time, damage is to anterior before posterior. In presence of white matter damage, lowered threshold to represent dementia/ad. Ad- amnesitic presentation(impairment in learning and recall, evidence of one additional cognitive deficit) Non-amnesetic presentation( problem solving, face recognition problems, language matching) Mri: atrophy of hippocampus and gyri, increased csf, increased amount of beta amyloid bonds o. Differnece in risk is based on vascular health. Cognition is important test factor to judge executive function and memory, this stabilizes for variability in tests between individuals. Have more time to rehearse, more processing->more retention. Cross sectional- comparing us with another age group of adults with the same cognitive measures as group 1. Memory impariments are associated with white mater in the temporal lobe. Cognitive impairment group is bad at manipulations -> cognitive tests can help understand better. 100% of cerebellum arises from the deep cerebellar nucleus.
