    Department of Psychiatry, New York University School of Medicine, Aging and Dementia Research Center, NY 10016, USA
    Psychiatry Res 90:113-23. 1999
    ..The average amygdala volume was 1.05 +/- 0.17 cm3 on the right and 1.14 +/- 0.15 cm3 on the left. Our amygdala volumes are in agreement with those reported in postmortem studies, which provides the reported method with face validity...
  2. ncbi Hippocampal formation glucose metabolism and volume losses in MCI and AD

    Department of Psychiatry, New York University School of Medicine, New York, NY, USA
    Neurobiol Aging 22:529-39. 2001
    ..These cross-sectional data show that in MCI hippocampal formation changes exist without significant neocortical changes. Neocortical changes best characterize AD. In both MCI and AD, metabolism reductions exceed volume losses...
