Abstract
The invention is drawn to a method for identifying agents that inhibit neural degeneration by administering to cell populations consisting essentially of neurons or cells from neuronal cell lines, where these cells are exposed to an apoptotic stimulus other than APP gene products, an agent, where it is determined whether the agent inhibits neural degeneration.
