Punctate and stelate deposits are less than 5 ␮m in size and are frequently found in the vicinity of focal or diffuse plaques (Duyckaerts and Dickson, 2003). , 2001). , 2001). They consist of A␤42 and stain with hematoxylin-eosin but not with Congo red. As their name implies, they look like cotton balls. They are frequently seen in association with moderate to advanced cerebral amyloidosis (Duyckaerts and Dickson, 2003). In addition to plaques, A␤ deposits are found in the small arteries, veins, and capillaries of cerebral and cerebellar cortices and the leptomeninges.

The connectivity model for AD proposes that the selective neuronal vulnerability is determined by afferent and efferent connections with other cortical areas. The connectionist’s argument is based on the fact that the long corticocortical projection neurons are subjected to alzheimerization, whereas the short corticocortical projection neurons remain unaffected. They also argue that the AD stages represent a stepwise retrograde hierarchical “travel” of the pathology along intrahemispheric corticocortical tracts from the anatomically simpler allo- and periallocortical areas to the very complex neocortex.
