New advances in neuropsychological assessment: the relationship between cognitive function and brain amyloid deposition

Abstract:

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a kind of degenerative disease. In the early stage, AD is characterized by the aggregation of β amyloid (Aβ) and tau proteins in the brain and memory loss. This paper summarizes the relationship between Aβ and cognitive function of the brain, reviews current research on how Aβ affects cognitive function (memory, execution and language), and also provides an outlook on future research trends to provide new ideas for the identification of Aβ deposition.
