One explanation for this disease attributes it to reduced synthesis of acetylcholine (uh-SEE-tul-KO-leen).
One sign of this disease is paired helical filaments formed from tau protein. One explanation for this disease attributes it to reduced synthesis of acetylcholine (uh-SEE-tul-KO-leen). The frequent development of this disease by age forty among those with Down syndrome lends credence to a hypothesis that it stems from a precursor protein coded for on chromosome twenty-one.
