What is another word for amyloid plaque?
Pronunciation: [ˈamɪlˌɔ͡ɪd plˈak] (IPA) 
Amyloid plaque is a term used to describe the accumulation of protein deposits within the brain. Some common synonyms for amyloid plaque include amyloid beta, amyloid fibrils, amyloidosis, beta-amyloid, and senile plaques. These deposits are associated with neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and Parkinson's disease. While there is no cure for amyloid plaque buildup, treatments such as medication, cognitive therapy, and lifestyle changes may help manage the symptoms. Research is ongoing to find new and better ways to prevent and treat the accumulation of amyloid plaque in the brain, in the hopes of eventually finding a cure for these debilitating conditions.
