Abstract:INTRODUCTIONNeurogranin (Ng) is considered a biomarker for synaptic dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease (AD). In contrast, the inflammasome complex has been shown to exacerbate AD pathology.METHODSWe investigated the protein expression, morphological differences of Ng, and correlated Ng to hyperphosphorylated tau in the post mortem brains of 17 AD cases and 17 age‐ and sex‐matched controls. In addition, we correlated the Ng expression with two different epitopes of apoptosis‐associated speck‐like protein contai… Show more
