Scientists at the CSIRO have mapped the presence of amyloid-beta "plaques" in the brain, which are known to accumulate alongside the development of the degenerative condition.
Until now, it was not known whether this plaque was toxic and contributed to Alzheimer's disease or whether it was coincidental.
Dr Olivier Salvado and his research colleagues found when the plaque was located in a particular spot in the brain it could cause damage to the hippocampus, which plays a key role in memory functioning.
"We found when there is plaque in this inferior temporal cortex then the hippocampus gets atrophied," Dr Salvado said.
It is thought the plaque disrupts connections with the hippocampus, causing its neurons to die. To get more: adelaidenow.com.au
