This is a series in which key papers in old age psychiatry are presented with an introduction, commentary by the original author and current update by someone working in the field. A full introduction is given in volume 10, no 10. These papers are a milestone in the psychiatry of old age and in the link between pathological brain changes and clinical features of dementia during life. These two companion papers represent the pathological descriptions of the patients concerned. The summaries of the two papers, together with the associated commentaries by Professor Tomlinson and Dr Mann, underscore the immortality of the work.
