Figure 3

Neuronal viability in response to glutamate treatment following seven days of daily Aβ 1-40 treatment. Treatment with glutamate significantly reduced neuronal viability of cultured cortical neurons by approximately 20% compared to untreated cells (A). When neurons were pre-treated with 1 μM Aβ1-40 for seven days, challenge with 200 μM glutamate for 24 hours resulted in a comparable degree of neuronal death compared to unchallenged, Aβ1-40 -treated cells (B). *P < 0.05 between treatments. All data are means ± SEM, n = 6.
