βA4 deposits are constant in the brain of the oldest old: An immunocytochemical study of 20 french centenarians
Abstract
beta A4 deposits occur in the brain of some individuals over 50 years of age. It could be a part of the aging process or indicate a disease found frequently in the elderly. To address this question, beta A4 immunocytochemistry was performed on the brain of 15 nondemented and 5 demented centenarians, some of whom were affected by Alzheimer's disease. We found beta A4 deposits in the parahippocampal and the superior temporal gyri of all the cases, whatever the clinical state. The hippocampus was frequently spared. The lesion density was not correlated with the severity of the mental deterioration. The constant deposition of beta A4 protein in the brain of very old people indicates that this process does not spare a large proportion of this population. This result favors beta A4 accumulation in the brain being an ineluctable age-related process.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
