Amyloid plaques are abnormal clumps of protein fragments that accumulate between nerve cells in the brain, primarily linked to Alzheimer’s disease. They disrupt cell communication and trigger inflammation, harming cognitive function. Researchers study plaques to understand disease progression and test treatments. Patients, caregivers, and neurologists benefit from this knowledge, aiding early detection and therapeutic strategies to slow neurodegeneration.
