Abnormal processing and deposition of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) in extracellular plaques are thought to be central to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Immunization with Aβ reduces the amount of brain amyloid, and now in the 21/28 December Nature, Janus et al. (Nature 2000, 408:979-982) and Morgan et al. (Nature 2000, 408:982-985) report that similar immunization protocols also reduce the learning deficit seen in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease.
