The neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer disease include diffuse and neuritic extracellular amyloid plaques in brain that are frequently surrounded by dystrophic neurites and intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles.\u201d stated the authors of the previously cited study from 2012.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 24px; color: #303030;\">It is still unknown what exactly causes Alzheimer\u2019s, although medical professionals seem to think that it\u2019s a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
