Summary Summary Short summary of a recent publication, written by scientific experts.
Cognitive decline differs between two types of dementia which is vision-led in posterior cortical atrophy and memory-led in typical Alzheimer’s disease.
This is the first direct comparison of the sequence of cognitive decline in posterior cortical atrophy and typical Alzheimer’s disease; the findings support clinical opinion on disease progression. In clinical practice, this improved understanding could facilitate earlier differential diagnosis and prognosis.
