[Evidence for aluminum in senile plaques of Alzheimer's disease: study using the Castaing microprobe].
Electron probe microanalysis demonstrates the presence of aluminum, calcium, phosphorus and silica in senile plaques in the cerebral cortex of 4 patients. Our findings are reported here with the reservation tnat the tissues were fixed before examination.
