Neuropathology of Cockayne syndrome: Evidence for impaired development, premature aging, and neurodegeneration.

28 Jul 2009 Global growth and development failure, premature, accelerated, pathologic aging, and neurodegeneration characterize Cockayne syndrome (CS) and the cerebro-oculo-facial-skeletal and xeroderma pigmentosum/CS syndromes which overlap CS partially in ... Read more...

Development of semagacestat (LY450139), a functional gamma-secretase inhibitor, for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

29 Jun 2009 BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease is thought to be caused by increased formations of neurotoxic amyloid beta (A beta) peptides, which give rise to the hallmark amyloid plaques. Therefore, pharmacological agents that reduce A beta formation may be of ... Read more...

Visual function and cognitive speed of processing mediate age-related decline in memory span and fluid intelligence.

30 May 2009 OBJECTIVE. To evaluate the relationship between sensory and cognitive decline, particularly with respect to speed of processing, memory span, and fluid intelligence. In addition, the common cause, sensory degradation and speed of processing ... Read more...
