- 1 November 2002
Estrogen maintains normal function of basal forebrain (BF) cholinergic neurons and estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) has therefore been proposed as a therapy for Alzheimer's disease (AD). We provide… Expand
Age-related deficits in context discrimination learning in Ts65Dn mice that model Down syndrome and Alzheimer's disease.
All individuals with Down syndrome (DS) eventually develop the neuropathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), which is characterized by a premature loss of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons.… Expand
Discovery of the 3-Imino-1,2,4-thiadiazinane 1,1-Dioxide Derivative Verubecestat (MK-8931)-A β-Site Amyloid Precursor Protein Cleaving Enzyme 1 Inhibitor for the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease.
