The picture shows a group of NEURONS, not Alzheimer type II astrocytes. It needs to be removed. Trkiehl (talk) 00:57, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The references don't match up, and should not be repeated twice under different numbers. Instead, it would be important to label them in the order that you reference them in the article, and make sure that the links work. If you reference an article once and later go back and recite it, it should still match the same number as used before. It also seems that some of the references are only to abstracts and not full papers. This makes sense if the papers can't be accessed for free, as long as you don't draw conclusions from just the abstracts alone. Overall, the information seems accurate and comes from reputable sources. I think it would be a good idea to do some more research on the topic and see if there are any related recent publishings. -- Gicoo001 (talk) 22:03, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm planning on adding more information on pathology, and adding a picture. Guyana65 (talk) 18:58, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
