Correlates of cognitive and psychiatric symptoms
Overlapping cognitive and psychiatric symptoms in neurodegeneration can be caused by different pathological mechanisms, explaing why otherwise effective treatments are useless. Our study will distinguish disease specific correlates from those that generalize across disorders. Uni- and multivariate methods will be used on large databases of Alzheimer's and Parkinsons's disease.
This study is funded by the Alzheimer Forschung Initiative (AFI).
