The diagnosis of “Alzheimer's” disease (AD) relies on neuropsychological tests demonstrating massive memory decline, which is mainly associated with hippocampus lesions. In parallel, several neuroimaging studies have suggested that amygdala volume loss could be a neuroanatomical marker of AD. However, previous works dealing with behavioural indices of amygdala activity in AD have been unable to provide a converging profile of emotional impairments. The goal of this work was to corroborate data provided from various methods to demonstrate that amygdala lesions in relation to emotional disorders could be an interesting track to refine the current diagnosis of AD. In a first structural neuroimaging study, we have demonstrated that the amygdala...
