Progression of cortical atrophy and amyloid deposition in the temporal neocortex in AD (see also Table 3). A: Cortical thickness decreased linearly, along with the symptomatic disease duration, indicating that this is a reliable proxy of disease severity. Amyloid burden (B) and total number of plaques (C) increased during the first years of the clinical course of the disease but reached a plateau soon after.
