Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The accumulation of amyloid-β proteins in the brain is a hallmark feature of Alzheimer's disease and is thought to contribute to the brain damage and cognitive decline seen in this condition. Deficits in thiamine and excesses of neurotrophins or acetylcholine do not play a primary role in the development of Alzheimer's disease.
