The plague serves a primary purpose of regulating voltage between neurons like a buffer, but now according to this study it looks like it serves a secondary purpose like an immune reaction to disease but it gets out of control and causes alzheimers, so removing the plaque cures the alzheimers but that's not getting the underlying cause which this study says is the disease.
It's fantastic research and hopefully will provide a lot of hope to people and their familes suffering from it.
