Abstract
We report the neuropathological examination of a patient with Alzheimer's disease (AD) treated for 38 months with low doses of the BACE-1 inhibitor verubecestat. Brain examination showed small plaque size, reduced dystrophic neurites around plaques and reduced synaptic-associated Aβ compared with a group of age-matched untreated sporadic AD (SAD) cases. Our findings suggest that BACE-1 inhibition has an impact on synaptic soluble Aβ accumulation and neuritic derangement in AD.
