The plaque or neurofibrillary tangle-likestructure is formed by amyloid protein. Neurofibrillary tangles are twisted,insoluble fibersthat form between brain cells. This causes the neurons to degrade, resulting inthe symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. The formation of plaques between the nervecells in the brain causes Alzheimer'sdisease. Protein moleculesare broken down and removed in the healthy brain. In Alzheimer's disease, theirregular protein molecule triggers brain cell collapse.
