The node-based overlap between this network and other networks is calculated as the Szymkiewicz-Simpson coefficient of their respective nodes. Up to the top 10 are shown below.
It was also demonstrated that fibril-free AβO solutions are essential for memory loss (Brito-Moreira et al. 2017), while the fibrillar Aβ in amyloid deposits is not the active factor affecting the cognition (Martins et al. 2008). PubMed:29196815
In addition, the load of AβO deposits significantly correlated with fibrillar Aβ plaque deposition as well as with neuronal loss and numbers of astrocytes, although not with memory deficits. PubMed:29196815
Despite enhanced Aβ42 accumulation in AD brain (Lewczuk et al. 2003), concentrations of monomeric Aβ42 in the CSF of AD patients are decreased PubMed:29196815
The histopathological changes in the brain include the presence of extracellular amyloid plaques consisted of various peptide variants of amyloid β (Aβ) and accumulation of intracellular neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) composed mainly of phosphorylated Tau proteins (pTau), localized predominantly in neurons (reviewed by Serrano-Pozo et al. 2011).

Amyloid hypothesis is supported by the fact that progressive Aβ deposition is observed in early, preclinical stages of AD and, finally, in all AD patients. PubMed:29196815
