Abstract

The main aim of this Core will continue to be the provision of neuropathologic diagnostic expertise to the clinical core, the Satellite Clinic, Projects 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. We will accomplish this by examination of brains from subjects in these studies, by providing well characterized tissue specimens, and by examining tissue from animal studies.
Other aims i nclude: 1) the rapid removal and freeze-preservation of brain tissue slices from study patients, both normal and demented subjects and make these tissue samples available to interested investigators; 2) quantification of Alzheimer changes in study subjects and controls by automated image analysis; 3) correlate the extent of ApoE deposition in tangles and plaques in old and young AD patients; and 4) correlate the severity of AD changes with the ApoE phenotype of the subjects.
