Those plaques are plaques we've been installing around North America.

People come, and whenever their wishes are granted, they put up another one of these little plaques.

Doctors rely on observation of memory loss and other thinking deficits (such as reasoning or language comprehension) signs that plaques are already present in the brain. But any cure nbsp would have to be administered before the plaques form, and years before symptoms of dementia appear.

Apart from the bronze, silver and gold pins, diplomas and plaques, individuals and teams will now be able to win material prizes too.

The research found that amyloid beta the substance that clumps together and forms amyloid plaques becomes depleted in the cerebrospinal fluid around the brain as long as 25 years before the onset of dementia. Fifteen years prior to onset, a positron emission tomography (PET) scan showed amyloid beta being deposited in plaques in the brain itself.

Even if accurate early prediction of Alzheimer s eventually is achieved, there are currently no drugs available to prevent or cure it before the amyloid plaques start destroying the mind. That will be our next great challenge.
