There was an error in one sentence citing work by (Moore et al., 2012): “While a small subset of dementias examined in some of these studies responded favorably to vitamin B12 supplementation, no benefit was observed in patients with an established, pre-existing deficiency of vitamin B12 (Moore et al., 2012).”
The correct sentence is: “While a small subset of dementias examined in some of these studies responded favorably to vitamin B12 supplementation, benefit was only observed in patients with an established, pre-existing deficiency of vitamin B12 (Moore et al., 2012).” The authors apologize for the mistake. This error does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way.
