a(MESH:Hippocampus) association bp(GO:cognition)
The popular amyloid cascade hypothesis posits that the gradual build-up of Abeta plaques leads to neuronal inflammation, dysfunction, and, eventually, cell death. The two brain regions most critically affected by this degeneration are the cortex and hippocampus, both of which are involved in cognition, learning, and memory.
