## Abstract Detergent‐resistant lipid rafts are required for the generation of Aβ as they concentrate not only amyloid precursor protein (APP), but also the β‐ and γ‐secretase that convert APP to Aβ. Recently, Aβ has been shown to be oligomerized, which results in neuronal cytotoxicity and synaptic
## Abstract Elevations in β‐amyloid peptide (Aβ) levels after traumatic brain injury (TBI) may confer risk for developing Alzheimer's disease in head trauma patients. We investigated the effects of simvastatin, a 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaryl‐CoA reductase inhibitor, on hippocampal Aβ burden in a clin
