Abstract

In this issue we are publishing one review, four original papers, brief reviews and the abstracts of the Third Brazilian and First Latin American Symposium on Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration. Araújo et al. carried out a systematic review of the literature on the cognitive evaluation of patients with migraine. Silva et al. assessed cognitive dysfunction in patients with diabetes mellitus type II (DM-II) in a case-control study. Novaretti et al. investigated whether simple tests may be used for the differential diagnosis between the cognitive impairment secondary to depression and Alzheimer’s disease. Brito-Marques et al. compared the performance of elderly individuals with different schooling levels in a visual reproduction test of geometric pictures. Oliveira et al. evaluated the performance of two groups of patients with Alzheimer’s disease from two different Brazilian regions and observed dissimilarities in their neuropsychological profile.
