   Proposal Description:
   Background: Alzheimer???s disease (AD) and similar dementia-causing disorders  are defined at autopsy, primarily by the occurrence and location  of specific pathologic features. Co-occurrence of other neuropathologic  features, not necessary for primary diagnosis, may be of interest in describing  the extent of general amyloidoses, vascular damage, or other  abnormalities that may have influenced the primary disease process.
