Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The text mentions that Mr. Yeo has early-onset Alzheimer's disease, which is typically not associated with small strokes (also known as vascular dementia). Therefore, scientists are least likely to find evidence of small strokes in his brain. On the other hand, neurofibrillary tangles, senile plaques, and amyloid are all pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease and may be present in Mr. Yeo's brain.
