Healthy brain and brain with amyloid plaques, MRI scans
Coloured magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of a healthy brain (left) and a brain with extracellular amyloid plaque deposits (right). Amyloid plaques are insoluble aggregates of beta-amyloid protein. They are believed to be linked to Alzheimer's disease by causing nerve cell death and affecting nerve cell signalling pathways., by MARK AND MARY STEVENS NEUROIMAGING AND INFORMATICS INSTITUTE/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
