| β-amyloid volume does not corelate well with the degree of memory loss. | Ingelsson et al., 2004; Huber et al., 2017; Kametani and Hasegawa, 2018 |
| NFTs, neuronal loss and memory deficit have not been observed in BRI2-Aβ AD mouse model despite abundant β-amyloid deposits. | Kim et al., 2013 |
| Neuroimaging studies visualized significant β-amyloid deposits in up to a third of elderly individuals with no memory loss. | Edison et al., 2007; Li et al., 2008; Rodrigue et al., 2013; Higashi et al., 2018 |
| CNS infections were observed in some clinical trials after β-amyloid clearance. | Orgogozo et al., 2003; Alonso et al., 2018; Brothers et al., 2018 |
