The paper describes the Aβ*56 oligomer (known as amyloid beta star 56 and Aβ*56) correlating with memory loss in mice prior to the appearance of amyloid plaques. According to a Science article, in 2022 the paper was the fifth-highest cited paper in Alzheimer's research, with approximately 2,300 other articles citing it.
The paper, which investigated the role of Aβ*56 oligomer (also known as amyloid beta star 56 or Aβ*56) in memory loss before amyloid plaque formation, was highly influential and has been cited extensively by other researchers working on Alzheimer's disease.
