Abstract
This review examines various approaches to the development of antemortem markers of Alzheimer's disease. Among the procedures discussed are: neurochemical and histopathologic studies of the cholinergic system, concentrating on CSF and blood plasma; genetic studies; imaging and electrophysiological studies; and neuroendocrine studies.
