the catecholamines norepinephrine and dopamine are synthesized by neurons in brainstem that project to forebrain with dense projections to subcortical structures such as the thalamus and striatum respectively and a more delicate projection to the cortex including the pfc methylphenidate blocks dopamine transporters and increases extracellular dopamine concentrations in the striatum and in the medial pfc a comprehensive examination of catecholamine changes made the surprising discovery that methylphenidate produces an even greater increase in norepinephrine than dopamine in rat medial pfc the low clinically relevant doses used had greater effects on pfc than those seen subcortically in nucleus accumbens or septum thus methylphenidate effects on pfc catecholamine actions may be particularly important to understanding the clinical benefits of this compound as described below

currently ad dementia is conceptualized as the endpoint of a cascade of events leading to cognitive impairment with the accumulation of amyloid beta aβ plaques being considered the first detectable change in the braina process that continues for decades prior to the onset of cognitive decline although no causal link between aβ plaque deposition and subsequent dementia has been established it remains a pathological hallmark in the pathway toward ad dementia as such, its measurement has been part of many observational studies in aging and dementia, and it has also been used in clinical trials both as inclusion criteria and as part of the outcome measures in the case of anti‐amyloid interventions.

examination of soluble aβ species in ad brain extracts by several investigators has indicated that the neurotoxic activity resides primarily in the low molecular weight lmw fraction of aβo dimers trimers tetramers dodecamers while high molecular weight hmw aggregates are largely inert though they reportedly can dissociate into lmw species

the selectivity of hupmn310 for soluble toxic oligomers with no binding to plaque or aβ monomers is a therapeutic advantage as it is expected to prevent the loss of antibody to unproductive interactions and, more importantly, avert triggering dose-limiting induction of aria-e and aria-h. it is recognized that synthetic aβo, while a useful tool, do not exactly replicate the structural plasticity, conformational heterogeneity, co-aggregation species and polydispersion of native aβo found in ad brains.

the observed pattern of retinal thinning in ad whereby thinning was greatest for the inner layers of the retina followed by the outer layers may likely be attributed to aβ deposition and consequent neurotoxicity as suggested by previous studies notably however the ipl was less severely thinned relative to the inl and onl

several in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that under certain conditions aβ peptides are able to form small soluble oligomers that grow into protofibrils and finally into dense insoluble structures that accumulate in the brain in form of extracellular βamyloid plaques there is growing evidence that soluble aβ species are more toxic than fibrillar aβ in causing neuronal loss and synaptic dysfunction
