Abstract INTRODUCTION Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a central nervous system (CNS) neurodegenerative disease leading to dementia, but can also show symptoms of motor deficits. It is not clear whether the peripheral motor deficits in AD are derived from upstream centers or intrinsic to the neuromuscular circuit.

Can we predict the response to Galantamine in Alzheimer`s disease patients? [PDF]
Although considerate progress was obtained by adding imagistic and laboratory test, clinical examination remains the core of the diagnosis for Alzheimer`s disease. After 20 years of experience with anticholinergic drugs we know that only one third of the
