Alzheimer's-Type Amyloidosis in Transgenic Mice Impairs Survival of Newborn Neurons Derived from Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis
20 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by severe neuronal loss in several brain regions important for learning and memory. Of the structures affected by AD, the hippocampus is unique in continuing to produce new neurons throughout life. Mounting evidence indicates that hippocampal neurogenesis contributes to the processing and storage of new information and that deficits in the production of new neurons may...
