Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Interaction with beta-Amyloid: Molecular, Cellular, and Physiological Consequences.

Authors: Parri RH, Dineley TK Elevated amyloid-beta peptide (Abeta) and loss of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) stand prominently in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Since the discovery of an Abeta - nAChR interaction, much effort has been expended to characterize the consequences of high versus low concentrations of Abeta on nAChRs. This review will discuss current knowled

High PIB Retention in Alzheimer's Disease is an Early Event with Complex Relationship with CSF Biomarkers and Functional Parameters.

Conclusions: A complex pattern was observed between pathological and functional markers with respect to disease stage (MCI versus AD) and brain regions. Regional differences over time were evident during disease progression. (11)C-PIB PET and CSF Abeta(42) allowed detection of prodromal stages of AD. Amyloid imaging is useful for early diagnosis and evaluation of new therapeutic interventions in
