Abstract
Delusions are common in Alzheimer’s disease. In this paper, longitudinal studies from the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at Washington University School of Medicine examining the relationship of delusions to stage and progression of illness are reviewed. Methodologic issues involving research design and assessment tools are addressed, and the advantages of studying delusions of Alzheimer's disease at several levels, ranging from psychologic to neuroanatomic, are discussed.
