   Proposal Description:
   The goals of this project are to examine the changes in hippocampal volume,       mesiotemporal lobe volume and lateral ventricle volume in patients with and       without sleep apnea who develop AD while controlling for the APOE gene and        variables such as cardiovascular risk factors, education, gender, and             depression. We will also examine longitudinal changes in these individuals by     analyzing their neuropathology.
