The Alzheimer’s Association International Conference on Alzheimer's Disease 2008 is coming up in
I discuss issues pertaining to the practice of neuropathology -- including nervous system tumors, neuroanatomy, neurodegenerative disease, muscle and nerve disorders, ophthalmologic pathology, neuro trivia, neuropathology gossip, job listings and anything else that might be of interest to a blue-collar neuropathologist.

Thanks. Please let us know what you think about beta amyloid vs. tau therapies
Thanks for your comment, yoyoma. From what I heard at the most recent American Academy of Neurology meeting, the consensus is that tau deposition is downstream from amyloid deposition in Alzheimer's disease. So, going after amyloid therapeutically probably makes more sense. But there are dissenters from this opinion, and the jury is still out. I will report on the Alzheimer conference in Chicago next week. I'll not be there, but I'll monitor the website and let my loyal readers know about anything I see that might be of interest.
