概括
阿尔茨海默病 (AD) 患者的破坏性行为与感官,运动和语言区域的皮质厚度降低有关. 这一发现可能会为管理AD中这些具有挑战性的症状的新干预措施提供信息.
科学领域:
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 神经学 神经学
- 医疗成像医学成像
背景情况:
- 阿尔茨海默氏症 (AD) 经常表现为干扰性行为,如兴奋和易怒.
- 对于阿尔茨海默氏症中这些行为的潜在神经解剖学基础仍然不完全理解.
研究的目的:

Alzheimer's Disease: Overview
468
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a continually advancing neurodegenerative disorder, distinguished by escalating memory loss, cognitive dysfunction, and dementia. The disease unfolds in three stages: preclinical, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and dementia. Its onset is insidious, and the progression gradual, with the cause not well explained by other disorders.
The clinical diagnosis of AD hinges on the presence of memory and other cognitive impairments. Biomarkers, such as changes in Aβ...

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
56
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
