Hint	Author	Date	Methods	% Correct
There is very little neuroanatomical or temporal correlation between plaques and degen.	Braak	1991		100%
Greater Abeta42 deposition in ApoE homozygotes; also increased plaque binding (PET)	Castellano		Cognitively normal >70y.o; PET (PIB-radiotracer (plaque))	100%
ChABC increased sprouting (rat sensorimotor cortex), very limited regeneration	Garcia-Alias	2009	(Also Shield 2008)	100%
Alpha synuclein enhances DAT transport to the membrane	Lee	2001	Co-expression of alpha-synuclein, DAT	100%
