A more recent article about Al in Alzheimer Disease patients brains can be
found in: Anal. Chem. 1998, 70, 1026-1029.  This article has many
references to others about the same topic.  In fact, whether or not
elevated levels of Al are found in the brains of AD patients is a rather
hot topic in biochem right now.
