Brain Cell Activity Increases Levels Of Amyloid Beta, A Key Ingredient In Alzheimer's Plaques
22nd Dec 2005, 00:21 GMT
Increased communication between brain cells increases levels of amyloid beta, the key ingredient in Alzheimer's brain plaques, scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found. The findings showed that turning up brain cell firing rates drove up levels of amyloid beta in the spaces between brain cells... click link for more info.
