   Proposal Description:
   The current project is being undertaken in order to determine which               neuropsychological measures administered to patients at an early stage of         diagnosis correlate most strongly with Alzheimer???s disease, frontotemporal      dementa, dementia with Lewy Bodies and vascular dementia in cases where           diagnosis is later neuropathologically confirmed via autopsy. By focusing on      patients whose diagnosis has been confirmed via autopsy, this project ought to    provide more accurate insight into the neuropsychological correlates of           dementia when compared with studies in which patients??? diagnoses are only       clinically speculated.
