Basal dendrites of hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells in senile dementia of Alzheimer type (SDAT) were studied quantitatively by the Golgi impregnation method. The present data suggested that basal dendrites of the pyramidal cells were decreased in number in SDAT, and that the dendritic decrease was associated with a decrease in size of their cell bodies.

D000544 Alzheimer Disease A degenerative disease of the BRAIN characterized by the insidious onset of DEMENTIA. Impairment of MEMORY, judgment, attention span, and problem solving skills are followed by severe APRAXIAS and a global loss of cognitive abilities. The condition primarily occurs after age 60, and is marked pathologically by severe cortical atrophy and the triad of SENILE PLAQUES; NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES; and NEUROPIL THREADS.
