In this chapter, we will discuss the background for this association and its implications for an understanding of its role in the etiopathogeneisis of age-related neurodegenerative disorders. Aluminum, although the most abundant metal in the earth's crust, comprising 8% of the geologic mantle, is unique among the elements of abundance in that it is not considered to be essential...
