Cognitive Impairment Is Associated with a Low Omega-3 Index in the Elderly: Results from the KORA-Age Study.

abstract：:Although myoclonus commonly occurs in a later stage of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the pathological basis of this symptom is still unclear. In order to elucidate the neuropathological substrate of myoclonus in AD, we quantitatively assessed neuronal density and volume, with a discrimination between small and large neuro...
