TI  - Consensus recommendations for the postmortem diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. 
      The National Institute on Aging, and Reagan Institute Working Group on Diagnostic 
      Criteria for the Neuropathological Assessment of Alzheimer's Disease.
PG  - S1-2
AB  - This report summarizes the consensus recommendations of a panel of 
      neuropathologists from the United States and Europe to improve the postmortem 
      diagnostic criteria for Alzheimer's disease. The recommendations followed from a 
      two-day workshop sponsored by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and the 
      Ronald and Nancy Reagan Institute of the Alzheimer's Association to reassess the 
      original NIA criteria for the postmortem diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease 
      published in 1985. The consensus recommendations for improving the 
      neuropathological criteria for the postmortem diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease 
      are reported here, and the "position papers" by members of the Working Group that 
      accompany this report elaborate on the research findings and concepts upon which 
      these recommendations were based. Further, commentaries by other experts in the 
      field also are included here to provide additional perspectives on these 
      recommendations. Finally, it is anticipated that future meetings of the Working 
      Group will reassess these recommendations and the implementation of postmortem 
      diagnostic criteria for Alzheimer's disease.
