    1. AA. Protein misfolding begins in specific regions
    2. BB. Pathological assemblies of misfolded protein spread to other areas
    3. CC. Prion-like process
    4. DD. All of the above
  2. 2Question 2. The following are the main risk factors for cognitive decline and dementia, except:

    1. AA. Traumatic brain injury
    2. BB. Obesity and diabetes
    3. CC. Hypertension
    4. DD. Education
  3. 3Question 3. In some individuals at early stages of Alzheimer disease
    there is a:

    1. AA. Severe loss of parietal cortical neurons
    2. BB. Severe loss of entorihnal cortex neurons
    3. CC. Severe loss of occipital cortical neurons

    4. DPS2
  6. 6Recent research proposes that aging cortical atrophy is most probably due to:
