Designing a Brief Alzheimer Screen (BAS)Marta S Mendiondo
School of Public Health, Sanders Brown Center on Aging, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40536, USA
J Alzheimers Dis 5:391-8. 2003..With advances in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD), clinical focus has shifted to early patient identification. Memory recall tests and category fluency distinguish normal individuals from early AD patients...
MR spectroscopy for assessment of memantine treatment in mild to moderate Alzheimer dementiaJ W Ashford

J Alzheimers Dis 26:229-38. 2011..The approaches to calculating the P300 described here are potentially useful for measuring specific neural systems affected by aging and AD...
APOE genotype effects on Alzheimer's disease onset and epidemiologyJ Wesson Ashford
Stanford VA Alzheimer Center, Palo Alto, CA 94304 1207, USA
J Mol Neurosci 23:157-65. 2004..This paper reviews the onset, diagnosis, and epidemiology of AD, specifically with regard to the APOE genotype and the interaction of the genotype with age...
What is aging? What is its role in Alzheimer's disease? What can we do about it?J Wesson Ashford
