A reduced astrocyte response to β-amyloid plaques in the ageing brain associates with cognitive impairment.

<h4>Aims</h4>β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques are a key feature of Alzheimer's disease pathology but correlate poorly with dementia. They are associated with astrocytes which may modulate the effect of Aβ-deposition on the neuropil. This study characterised the astrocyte response to Aβ plaque...
