Role of amyloid-β and tau proteins in Alzheimer's disease: confuting the amyloid cascade

…, D Maugeri, MA Baltrons, M … - Journal of …, 2018 - content.iospress.com
The “Amyloid Cascade Hypothesis” has dominated the Alzheimer’s disease (AD) field in the

Picomolar amyloid-β positively modulates synaptic plasticity and memory in hippocampus

D Puzzo, L Privitera, E Leznik, M Fa… - Journal of …, 2008 - Soc Neuroscience
Amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides are produced in high amounts during Alzheimer's disease, causing
