Hello all,
I have been doing some research into the Alzheimer's
literature and I characteristicly find a dichotomy between
the cognitive deficits of AD and the known neuropathology
of the disease. As yet I haven't seen even any suggestions
as to how the two might relate.
What I am interested in is what the possible implications
of amyloid plaque build-up and neurofibrillary tangles might
be. I understand that in general noone knows but there must
be some suggestions out there. If anyone could point me to
appropriate literature I would appreciate it. In addition,
if anyone was willing to make off-the-record speculations
within this group I would appreciate reading those too.
Thank you for your help.
- Joe
