The present invention provides methods for reducing A.beta. deposition, A.beta. neurotoxicity and microgliosis in an ani-mal or human afflicted with a cerebral amyloidogenic disease, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), by administering therapeutically effective amounts of the (R)-enantiomer of the dihydropyridine compound nilvadipine, also known as (-)-nilvadipine, to the animal or human. Further provided are methods for reducing the risk of A.beta. deposition, A.beta. neurotoxicity and microgliosis in animals or hu-mans suffering from traumatic brain injury by administering (-)-nilvadipine after the traumatic brain injury and continuing treatment for a prescribed period of time thereafter.
