  • A degenerative disease of the BRAIN characterized by the insidious onset of DEMENTIA. Impairment of MEMORY, judgment, attention span, and problem solving skills are followed by severe APRAXIAS and a global loss of cognitive abilities. The condition primarily occurs after age 60, and is marked pathologically by severe cortical atrophy and the triad of SENILE PLAQUES; NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES; and NEUROPIL THREADS. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1049-57)

      Parte de Oral history collection for "Teaching Tomorrow's Medicine Today" book

      This material includes a transcript and audio recording of an oral history interview by Emily Falk with Kenneth L. Davis, MD, on July 15, 2002 when he was the Chairman of Psychiatry at the Mount Sinai Medical Center. This interview is part of the oral history collection for "Teaching Tomorrow's Medicine Today" book on the history of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine (MSSM), and topics many focus on his time at and perspectives on the school.

      Dr. Davis begins the interview by sharing information on his early life and education, including his undergraduate psychology research at Yale University, his reasons for becoming a doctor, and why he chose to attend MSSM, including his early impressions of and family connections with Mount Sinai Hospital.

      He also speaks about the curriculum at MSSM and how it evolved over time, as well as the political activism among students in the late 1960s and early 1970s. (Dr. Davis graduated from MSSM in 1973.) Finally, he discusses his research, particularly on acetylcholine and memory in patients with Alzheimer disease and dopamine deficiency in patients with schizophrenia.
