Abstract excerpt
Oligomeric assemblies of amyloid-beta (Abeta) are suggested to be central in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease because levels of soluble Abeta correlate much better with the extent of cognitive dysfunctions than do senile plaque counts. Moreover, such Abeta species have been shown to be neurotoxic, to interfere with learned behavior and to inhibit the maintenance of hippocampal long-term potentiation. The...
