Re: AW: Alzheimer bodies EN-DE - Plaques

[Guest guest]

Yes, , that's it!

" Plaques " is what Astrid must have been looking for. (I never read a German

text on

Alzheimer's, but 'plaques' has often been used in the English literature,

as far as I can remember.)

Aha!!! -- I just checked 'Drusen' in my Pschyrembel:

*2.* (engl.: Alzheimer's plaques) - (neuropathol.) senile Plaques etc. etc.

I also checked an old neurology book (1976): Plaques und massenhaft

Alzheimer-Fibrillen. The " bodies " may be " Plaques " . Die Riesengliazellen

are Drusen.
