Health

A study conducted by scientists at Mt. Sinai Medical Center in New York showed that presenilin 1 is located at the synapse and that it may be necessary for proper connections between neurons (Georgakopoulos et al., 1999). Thus, presenilin 1 may be important in the way neurons connect with one another and how they maintain their contacts. (references)

Another study, conducted by scientists at the Rockefeller University and Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, New York, assessed levels of beta-amyloid variants and tau in the cortex of subjects with no, questionable, mild, moderate, and severe dementia (Naslund et al., 2000). Results indicated that total levels of two types of amyloid peptides were elevated early in dementia and that these levels were strongly correlated with cognitive decline. (references)

Currently, some controversy exists as to whether the risk of developing AD increases even in very old age (in persons over 90 years of age). Data from another study done this year by investigators at the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine have fueled this debate by suggesting that people 90-102 years of age were actually less likely to develop late-onset AD than were younger individuals (60-89 years old) (Silverman et al., 1999). While the possibility of non-genetic protective factors cannot be ruled out, this study suggests the existence of genetic factors that protect specific long-lived individuals from becoming cognitively impaired.
