The<unk>  were proposed in 1984 by the (National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke and the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association) and are among the most used in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). These<unk>  require that the presence of cognitive impairment and a suspected dementia syndrome be confirmed by neuropsychological testing for a clinical diagnosis of possible or probable AD; while they need histopathologic confirmation (microscopic examination of brain tissue) for the definitive diagnosis.  They specify as well eight cognitive domains that may be impaired in AD. These<unk>  have shown good reliability and validity.
