Gunnar Gouras on Effects of synaptic modulation on beta-amyloid, synaptophysin, and memory performance in Alzheimer's disease transgenic mice.

COMMENT Reply to comment by Sam Gandy and John Steele I appreciate the interest in intraneuronal Aβ by Gandy and Steele, who have been contributing to this topic. I also welcome the comment, because interaction and questioning is so important. Yes, it has been a

William Klunk on Positron emission tomography imaging and clinical progression in relation to molecular pathology in the first Pittsburgh Compound B positron emission tomography patient with Alzheimer's disease.

COMMENT This manuscript describes in detail the postmortem assessment of an AD patient studied twice with PIB-PET and three times with FDG-PET during life (last PIB 35 months before death). The subject happens to be the first patient ever studied with PIB-PET, an

Stephen D. Ginsberg on Positron emission tomography imaging and clinical progression in relation to molecular pathology in the first Pittsburgh Compound B positron emission tomography patient with Alzheimer's disease.

COMMENT This case report study of the first Pittsburgh Compound B (PIB) positron emission tomography patient with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) by Kadir et al. provides extensive descriptive information regarding the neuropathological changes found in the brain of a 6

Einar Sigurdsson on Immunotherapy targeting pathological tau prevents cognitive decline in a new tangle mouse model.

COMMENT We thank Rakez for his comment. Antibody response towards non-phosphorylated regions of the immunogen can be expected considering its length and immunogenicity. This should not cause major concerns, as we address in the fourth paragraph of the Discussion
