A rare examination of an Alzheimer's patient's brain shows that areas cleared of amyloid plaques remained largely free from the harmful tau protein buildup linked to memory loss. The findings offer strong evidence that early treatment to remove amyloid can exert a lasting protective effect and significantly slow disease progression.
