Neuronal neprilysin overexpression is associated with attenuation of Aβ-related spatial memory deficit

Converging evidence links abnormally high brain concentrations of amyloid-β peptides (Aβ) to the pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Lowering brain Aβ levels, therefore, is a therapeutic strategy for the treatment of AD. Neuronal neprilysin upregulation led to increased degradation of Aβ, re...
