Selective vulnerability to neurodegenerative disease: the curious case of Prion Protein.

Disease models & mechanisms - 1 Jan 2014

Jackson Walker S

Abstract excerpt

The mechanisms underlying the selective targeting of specific brain regions by different neurodegenerative diseases is one of the most intriguing mysteries in medicine. For example, it is known that Alzheimer's disease primarily affects parts of the brain that play a role in memory, whereas Parkinson's disease predominantly affects parts of the brain that are involved in body movement. However, the reasons that...
