Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an increasingly prevalent neurologic disorder characterized by progressive degeneration in cognition, behavior, and daily functioning. Identification of methods designed to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of early diagnosis would allow for proactive care including timely implementation of treatment modalities. Toward this goal, this secondary analysis was designed to examine the relationship between clinical symptoms (cognitive, behavioral, and daily functioning) and abnormal electrophysiological features in individuals with AD.
