abstract: We review here recent reports pertaining to the issue of apoptosis in neurodegenerative diseases. Tissue culture models, animal models and human pathological studies are discussed. At present, there is supportive, but not definitive, evidence for apoptosis in a number of neurodegenerative disorders.
