| has gloss | eng: Senile plaques (syn. neuritic plaques, senile druse, braindruse) are extracellular deposits of amyloid in the gray matter of the brain. The deposits are associated with degenerative neural structures and an abundance of microglia and astrocytes. Large numbers of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles are characteristic features of Alzheimer’s disease, and some of the abnormal neurites in senile plaques are composed primarily of paired helical filaments, a component of neurofibrillary tangles |

| has gloss | spa: Las placas seniles son depóstios exrtacelulares de beta-amiloide en la sustancia gris del cerebro y que se asocian con la degeneración de las estructuras neuronales, así como una abundancia en microglía y de astrocitos. Un número elevado de estas placas amiloides y ovillos de fibrina son elementos característicos de la enfermedad de Alzheimer, aunque la correlación entre la densidad de placas de amiloide y la severidad de la enfermedad es pobre. |
