“In the Alzheimer’s affected brain, abnormal levels of the
beta-amyloid protein clump together to form plaques (seen in brown) that
collect between neurons and disrupt cell function. Abnormal collections of the
tau protein accumulate and form tangles (seen in blue) within neurons, harming
synaptic communication between nerve cells.”
