Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the accumulation of beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain, which cause neuronal cell death and shrinkage of brain tissue. An enlarged hippocampus and hypothalamus are not typically seen in Alzheimer's disease, and there is not a proliferation of new neurons in the hippocampus. Shrunken ventricles and loss of CSF can sometimes occur, but these are not the primary features of the disease.
