In Alzheimer’s, the proteins amyloid-beta and tau begin to accumulate in the brain many years before any clinical signs of the disease are evident. Propagation of these proteins throughout the brain has been linked to cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s, but exactly how they spread has long been a m...
