Clinical diagnostic criteria for probable and possible PD‐D are proposed, characterized by impairment in attention, memory, executive and visuo‐spatial functions, behavioral symptoms such as affective changes, hallucinations, and apathy are frequent.
Dopamine depletion impairs precursor cell proliferation in Parkinson disease

Cerebral dopamine depletion is the hallmark of Parkinson disease. Because dopamine modulates ontogenetic neurogenesis, depletion of dopamine might affect neural precursors in the subependymal zone…

It is shown that CD8+ and CD4+ T cells but not B cells had invaded the brain in both postmortem human PD specimens and in the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine mouse model of PD during the course of neuronal degeneration, and that MPTP-induced dopaminergic cell death was markedly attenuated in the absence of mature T lymphocytes.

Neuropathologic diagnostic and nosologic criteria for frontotemporal lobar degeneration: consensus of the Consortium for Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration
The aim of this study was to improve the neuropathologic recognition and provide criteria for the pathological diagnosis in the neurodegenerative diseases grouped as frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) and incorporate up-to-date neuropathology in the light of recent immunohistochemical, biochemical, and genetic advances.
Diagnostic procedures for Parkinson's disease dementia: Recommendations from the movement disorder society task force
The main focus of this article is to operationalize the diagnosis of PD‐D and to propose pratical guidelines based on a two level process depending upon the clinical scenario and the expertise of the evaluator involved in the assessment.
Classification and basic pathology of Alzheimer disease

Tau accumulation, probably the best histopathological correlate of the clinical symptoms, takes three aspects: in the cell body of the neuron as neurofibrillary tangle, in the dendrites as neuropil threads, and in the axons forming the senile plaque neuritic corona.

Evidence from many independent research centers strongly supports the existence of a specific disease, as defined by the presence of A&bgr; plaques and neurofibrillary tangles.

Using neuropathologic criteria for corticobasal degeneration provides good differentiation of CBD from other tauopathies, except frontotemporal dementia and Parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17, where additional clinical or molecular genetic information is required to make an accurate diagnosis.
