The default activity patterns of the brain may, over many years, augment a metabolic- or activity-dependent cascade that participates in Alzheimer's disease pathology. The regions of the brain we tend to use in our default state when we are young are very similar to the regions where plaques form in older people with Alzheimer's disease. This is quite a remarkable convergence that we did not expect.
