The amyloid cascade hypothesis posits that the accumulation of amyloid β (Aβ) is the triggering factor for Alzheimer's disease, which consecutively induces aggregation of tau, synaptic loss, and cell death. Most experimental and clinical evidence supports this model, but the available data are largely qualitative. Here, we tested the amyloid cascade hypothesis by using in vivo evaluation of positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
