Abstract
In both human Alzheimer''s disease and Al encephalopathy of animals, changes are observed in neurofibrillary structures. Brains from Alzheimer patients contained approximately 1.4 times the Al level found in a control series. Some possible methodological problems were discussed. A chemical mechanism for the changes of Al encephalopathy was proposed.
