Historically,
pathologists have devised a variety of chemical methods for preserving and
examining brain tissue. Accompanying
these changes have been several revisions in the classification schemes
(thresholds) used to decide if a specimen demonstrates “probable” vs.
“definite” signs of Alzheimer’s disease. |

In light of the
complexity of these revisions, there is a compelling record in the medical literature which suggests a
positive association between antipsychotic drugs and the appearance of
Alzheimer’s pathology within the human brain. |
