Structural changes in the brain in Alzheimer's disease include which of the following:Group of answer choicesSignificant aluminium deposits in the frontal lobeHypertrophy of the hippocampusDeposition of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tanglesDegeneration of the basal ganglia

Select the correct statement(s).Group of answer choicesDementia is common in the elderly and is considered part of normal ageing.Prominent brain areas affected the most by Alzheimer’s disease are the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and hippocampus.Alzheimer’s disease is associated with intracellular accumulation of amyloid beta plaques and extracellular deposition of abnormal tau proteins.Alzheimer’s disease is associated with a significant reduction of cholinergic neurons in the brain, which explains why administration of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors appears to be advantageous in the management of this condition.

In Alzheimer's disease, what is the significance of finding amyloid beta in the hippocampus and olfactory bulb?
