Pathways towards and away from Alzheimer's disease —Mattson 2004

This is an audio summary of the article "Pathways towards and away from Alzheimer's disease" by Mattson in 2004. Alzheimer's disease (AD) sufferers slowly but certainly lose their memory and cognitive skills, and even their personalities may change significantly. These alterations are brought on by the nerve cells' gradual degeneration and death, which are in charge of information processing and storage. Despite the fact that medications might momentarily enhance memory, there are currently no cures that can halt or reverse the irreversible neurodegenerative process. However, quick advancements in our knowledge of the cellular and molecular changes causing the neuron's death may soon make it possible to create efficient preventative and therapeutic measures. This is the end of this informational audio track on "Pathways towards and away from Alzheimer's disease" by Mattson.
