Abstract
Hypotheses concerning the etiology of Alzheimer’s disease are numerous but perhaps two of the most probable involve either an unconventional infectious agent of the scrapie, Creutzfeldt-Jakob family or an error in gene expression. Strong circumstantial evidence supports both hypotheses; however, definitive evidence will require an extensive understanding of the molecular biology of this common cause of senile and presenile dementia.Keywords
