This website has different papers about many topics, for example: sleep, dementia, pain or alteration of consciousness. I visit this website one a week, I like reading about different issues about neurology. For example I enjoy the paper “The personality affects brain aging” in which the author make associations between different variables, specifically between personality and brain aging.

There is another paper called “a brief cognitive test battery to differentiate Alzheimer´s disease and frontotemporal dementia” in which the author compare two test: “addenbrooke´s cognitive examination” (which is used for exclude frontotemporal dementia) and “Dementia rating scale” (which is used in the diagnostic of Alzheimer´s disease).
