Abstract The role of inflammation in Alzheimer s disease AD has been controversial since its first consideration. As with most instances of neuroinflammation the possibility must be considered that activation of glia and cytokine networks in AD arises merely as a reaction to neurodegeneration. Active healthy neurons produce signals that suppress inflammatory events and dying neurons activate phagocytic responses in microglia at the very least. But simultaneous with the arrival of a more complex view of microglia evidence that inflammation plays a causal or exacerbating role in AD etiology has been boosted by genetic physiological and epidemiological studies. In the end it may be that the semantics of inflammation and glial activation must be regarded as too simplistic for the advancement of our understanding in this .
