Abstract

In this study the quantitative changes of the SP (senile plaque) and NFT (neurofibrillary tangle) in the subnucleus of amygdaloid nucleus were analyzed. All patients (83 cases) were diagnosed clinically and confirmed pathologically as Alzheimer disease. The results were: 1) The SP was most prominenentlv observed in the basomedial sub'nucleus region but NFT was in the lateral subnuclei. 2) There were positive Rank Correlation of pathologic degree between the amygdaloidal subnuclei and neocortex except accessory basal subnuclei. 3)Lateral subnucleus had no Rank Correlation between its SP & NFT.
