Alterations in cortical thickness and neuronal density in the frontal cortex of Albert Einstein.

Abstract:

:Neuronal density, neuron size, and the number of neurons under 1 mm2 of cerebral cortical surface area were measured in the right pre-frontal cortex of Albert Einstein and five elderly control subjects. Measurement of neuronal density used the optical dissector technique on celloidin-embedded cresyl violet-stained sections. The neurons counted provided a systematic random sample for the measurement of cell body cross-sectional area. Einstein's cortex did not differ from the control subjects in the number of neurons under 1 mm2 of cerebral cortex or in mean neuronal size. Because Einstein's cortex was thinner than the controls he had a greater neuronal density.

  • APOE promoter polymorphisms and dementia in the elderly.

    abstract::Previous observations suggest a contribution of two APOE promoter polymorphisms (-219 G/T and -491 A/T) in dementia. From two independent populations of elderly (mean age of 84 and 85 years old, respectively), we observed that subjects bearing the -219T allele were at increased risk of dementia (OR = 1.9 (95% CI, 1.3-...
