neocortex and hippocampus
|
|
|
What occurs w/in the cell body of neurons?
|
neurofibrillary tangles
|
|
|
What occurs at the end of the neutrites

|
APP - Amyloid precursor protein
|
|
|
What enzyme is responsible for the APP cleavage?
|
secretase
|
|
|
What is observed when the last 100 residues of truncated APP gene was used?
|
no senile plaque formation but neurodegeneration occured
|
|
