Here in the tuberomamillary nucleus, part of the posterior hypothalmus, one can see a neuron loaded with Alz-50 but also when one stains with classical stains. With silver staining you can see the Alzheimer changes in this part of the nucleus which gives a problem I think to the evolutionary hypothesis Braak has purposed <>. Compare the tuberomamillary and the nucleus tuberalis; when we look at the size of the Golgi apparatus in this area, you see compared to the controls that the size of the Golgi apparatus is much smaller and so we can give many examples of areas in which the metabolic activity, the synthetic activity of the neurons, is decreased in Alzheimer's disease.
