Ondrej Lerch, MD from Charles University in Prague, 2nd Faculty of Medicine and Motol University Hospital, Prague, Czech Republic talks about a study looking at the association between plasmatic homocysteine levels, basal forebrain (BF) and hippocampal volumes in cognitively normal elderly patients with subjective cognitive decline (SCD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer’s disease dementia.
