   Proposal Description:
   The specific aims of this project are:                                             A.  To determine if UPDRS motor scores vary by neuropathological diagnosis        (control, AD, PDD, DLB, FTD, VCI, etc.)                                           B.  To determine if neuroleptic exposure influences UPDRS motor scores in NACC    subjects                                                                          C.  To determine if severity of dementia influences parkinsonism                  D.  To identify demographic and disease-specific variables that influence the     level of parkinsonism in NACC subjects
