Dear Colleagues,

You may be curious to know that all HighWire Press Journals search performed today for the keywords "cholesterol and neuronal and degeneration" (for the period from January 2000 to August 2001) in the articles' titles and abstracts retrieved just two articles (listed below). Identical search for the period from January 1965 to August 2001 retrieved 8 papers.

The total number of papers that have word "cholesterol" in their titles and/or abstracts and published in HighWire Press Journals from January 1965 or January 2000 till August 2001 is 13073 and 1578, respectively.

The search for "cholesterol and synaptic and plasticity" retrieved just one authored by us FASEB J paper (see below) from 13073 "cholesterol" papers over the period of more then 35 years (Jan 1965 - Aug 2001).

Thus, there is a great demand for the synthesis of the research on brain function, synaptic plasticity, neurodegeneration and cholesterol. This presently underdeveloped subject awaits many important studies. Please think about joining us in this untouched science journey.

Your contribution will rocket Alzheimer's neurodegeneration understanding.

With best regards from the Holy Land,

Sincerely,

Alexei Koudinov and Natalia Koudinova
