ABSTRACT
Dementias encompass a range of debilitating neurologic conditions. Here, we summarize the neuropathology of common forms of dementia, focusing on Alzheimer disease (AD) and related dementias. AD is part of a spectrum of neurodegenerative diseases that consists of various protein inclusions (ie, proteinopathies) but other brain abnormalities are also related to dementia. Beta-amyloid and tau aggregates are hallmarks of AD. Other tissue substrates include Lewy bodies, TDP-43 inclusions, vascular brain lesions, and mixed pathologies. This review highlights the complexity of neurodegenerative and other disease substrates and summarizes topography of these lesions and concepts of mixed brain pathologies, resistance, and resilience.
