Contents: The oligomer cascade hypothesis for Alzheimer's Disease -- Why the oligomer hypothesis has largely supplanted the amyloid cascade hypothesis -- The role of AβOs in memory failure and the major facets of AD neuropathology -- Mechanisms by which AβOs instigate neurotoxicity -- Why AβOs accumulate in the first place -- How AβOs offer superb targets for novel AD diagnostics and disease-modifying therapeutics -- Beside its direct link to Alzheimer's disease, the discovery of toxic Aβ oligomers has provided a novel structural archetype for toxins germane to more than two dozen diseases of protein mis-folding, including Diabetes, Parkinson's, and prion diseases.
