 With the exception of the senior author (Dr Heyman), who was the Principal Investigator of CERAD, and the first author, who was the Project Director, the order of authorship reflects the order of development of CERAD’s primary assessments. The Methodology and Data Management Center (Dr van Belle) and the Clinical (Dr Morris) and Neuropsychology (Dr Mohs) batteries were developed simultaneously. These were followed by the Neuropathology protocol (Dr Mirra), the Neuroimaging protocol (Dr Davis), the Behavior Rating Scale for Dementia (Dr Tariot), evaluation of family history (Dr Silverman), and structured assessment of extrapyramidal dysfunction in AD (Dr Clark).
