Abstract
In this case study, we describe the symptoms, neuropsychological testing, and brain pathology of a man with Alzheimer's disease (AD). AD commonly presents with impairment of memory and language function. In this case, language difficulties were noted more prominently than was memory impairment. Throughout the limbic system and neocortex of the patient were large numbers of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, the pathological hallmarks of AD.Keywords
