Interestingly, whereas tau has been placed downstream of Aβ in a pathocascade, providing support for the amyloid cascade hypothesis [ 30, 55], a reduction in endogenous tau levels in APP transgenic mice was found to reverse memory impairment, reduce susceptibility to experimentally induced excitotoxic seizures, and decrease early mortality, without altering Aβ levels or plaque load [ 81].
Concomitant with this behavioral impairment, reduced masculinization of the SNB system is also observed, characterized by reduced motoneuron number [ 69], soma size, dendritic extent and target musculature [ 70].
Research has found brominate flame retardants building up in the body and breast milk, and animal and some human studies have linked them to neurological impairment, reduced fertility, changes in thyroid hormones and puberty at an earlier age.
