It is well established that some individuals with normal cognitive capacity have abundant senile plaques in their brains. It has been proposed that those individuals are resilient or have compensation factors to prevent cognitive decline. In this comment, we explore an alternative mechanism through which cognitive capacity is maintained. This mechanism could involve the impairment of alternative neural circuitry. Also, the proportion of molecules such as Aβ or tau protein present in different areas of the brain could be important.
众所周知,一些认知能力正常的个体大脑中存在大量老年斑。有人提出,这些个体具有恢复力或具备防止认知衰退的补偿因素。在本评论中,我们探讨了一种维持认知能力的替代机制。这种机制可能涉及替代神经回路的损伤。此外,大脑不同区域中存在的诸如β淀粉样蛋白(Aβ)或 tau 蛋白等分子的比例可能也很重要。
