[@Letscurealzheimers]

At this moment prevention looks like the only way of slowing it down. Dr Bredesen is doing research for trying to prevent Alzheimer's. He is hoping to reverse the symptoms.

[@kingpopaul]

After discussing with some people working with numerous patient affecter by this disease, I've learned that this disease seems to act like a chronological undoing of the brain. The patient gradually forget about more recent memories and abilities, and seem to go through the stage of human maturation in reverse. It seems strange to me that "random" cell degeneration would lead to such a process instead of a more random loss of function and memories.

[@seapinkoyster]

Chronological undoing of the brain is definitely a great way to explain what Alzheimers appears to be. It happens like that because a lot of the plaques and tangles start in the hippocampus (where recent memories and hearings are formed) and then spread into different regions of the brain eventually to the area in the brain that regulates heart and breathing killing the patient. The spread of the plaques and tangles cause the "chronological" phases of the Alzheimers.

[@Letscurealzheimers]

Alzheimers Disease is characterized for the randomness of the progression that the neurons die. Not all cases are the same although there is a set of stages from start to finish. Other dementias are characterized other ways. Frontotemporal demetia begins in the frontal lobe and the section on the side of the brain. Vascular dementia is clogging of the blood vessels through the brain thus killing off neurons,

[@SteveWoodyMusic]

For those interested, I made a full transcript of this video. Hope this helps someone else out, especially those writing papers! I double checked everything, but please let me know if I missed anything. "Dementia isn't technically a disease, but more of a way to describe a set of symptoms, like poor memory and difficulty learning new information, which can make it really hard to function independently. Usually dementia is caused by some sort of damage to the cells in the brain which can be caused by a variety of diseases. Alzheimer's disease, now referred to as Alzheimer disease is the most common cause of dementia. Alzheimer disease is considered a neurodegenerative disease meaning it causes the degeneration or loss of neurons in the brain particularly in the cortex. This, as you might expect, leads to the symptoms characteristic of dementia. although the cause of Alzheimer disease isn't completely understood, two major players that are often cited in its progression are plaques in tangles. All right, so here we've got this cell membrane of a neuron in the brain. in the membrane you've got this molecule called amyloid precursor protein or APP. One end of this guy’s in the cell and the other end’s outside the cell. It's thought that this guy helps the neuron grow and repair itself after an injury. since APP’s a protein just like other proteins, it gets used and overtime it gets broken down and recycled. Normally, it gets chopped up by an enzyme called Alpha secretase and its buddy, Gamma secretase. This chopped up peptide is soluble and goes away and everything is all good. if another enzyme, beta secretase, teams up with gamma secretase instead then we've got a problem. This leftover fragment isn't soluble and creates a monomer called amyloid beta. These monomers tend to be chemically sticky and bond together just outside the neurons and form what are called beta amyloid plaques, these clumps of lots of these monomers. These plaques can potentially get between the neurons which can get in the way of neuron-to-neuron signaling. if the brain cells can't signal and relay information, then brain functions like memory can be seriously impaired. it's also thought that these plaques can start up an immune response and cause inflammation which might damage surrounding neurons. Amyloid plaque can also deposit around blood vessels in the brain called amyloid angiopathy, which weakens the walls of the blood vessels and increases the risk of hemorrhage or rupture and blood loss. Here's an image of amyloid plaque on Histology. These clumps are buildups of beta amyloid and this is happening outside the cells. Another big part of Alzheimer disease are tangles, and these are actually found inside the cell as opposed to the beta amyloid plaques. Just like other cells, neurons are held together by their cytoskeleton which is partly made up of microtubules, these track like structures that essentially act like a minecart shipping nutrients and molecules along the length of the cell. A special protein called Tau makes sure that these tracks don't break apart, kind of like railway ties. Although again it's not completely understood, it's thought that the beta amyloid plaque buildup outside the neuron initiates pathways inside the neuron that lead to activation of kinase an enzyme that transfers phosphate groups to the Tau protein. The Tau protein then changes shape, stops supporting the microtubules, and clumps up with other Tau proteins and gets tangled and leads to the other characteristic finding of Alzheimer disease, neurofibrillary tangles. Neurons with tangles in non-functioning microtubules can't signal as well and sometimes end up undergoing apoptosis, or programmed cell death. Here's an image of Histology showing these neurofibrillary tangles formed inside the neuron. As neurons die, large scale changes start to take place in the brain. For one, the brain atrophies, or shrinks, and the Gyri get narrower (which are the characteristic ridges of the brain). As those get narrower the Sulci, which are the groups between the Gyri, get wider. With atrophy the ventricles, or fluid filled cavities in the brain, get larger as well. So, that's the pathophysiology part, but why does this happen in some people and not others? well Alzheimer disease can be split into two groups sporadic and familial. Sporadic is used to describe the late onset type where the exact cause isn't very well defined and is probably a combination of genetic and environmental risk factors. And sporadic accounts for the vast majority of cases. With sporadic Alzheimer's, the risk increases significantly with age affecting around 1% of people between ages 60-65 and 50% of people over the age of 85. In fact, a gene that's been identified as possibly contributing to an increased risk of Alzheimer disease is the e4 allele of apolipoprotein E gene or APOE e4. Researchers have shown that the risk of developing Alzheimer disease increases for patients that inherit one e4 allele and increases even more for patients who inherited two e4 alleles, one from each parent. Apolipoprotein E helps breakdown beta amyloid, but the E4 allele seems to be less effective than the other alleles like the APOE 2 allele, meaning patients are more likely to develop beta amyloid plaques. Familial Alzheimer disease, on the other hand, is used to describe cases where some dominant gene was inherited that speeds up the progression of the disease. So, sometimes familial Alzheimer's disease is referred to as early-onset Alzheimer's. Familial accounts for about 5 to 10% of cases and could be caused by several gene mutations. First, mutations in the PSEN-1 or PSEN-2 genes on chromosome 14 or chromosome 1, respectively, had been linked to early-onset Alzheimer's. These genes encode for presenilin 1 and presenilin 2, both protein subunits of gamma secretase. Mutations in these PSEN-1 or PSEN-2 genes can change the location where gamma secretase chops APP, producing different length beta amyloid molecules, which seem to be better at clumping up and forming plaques. Another known genetic cause of Alzheimer's is trisomy 21, or Down Syndrome, which involves an extra copy of chromosome 21. It turns out that the gene responsible for producing APP is located on chromosome 21, which means that people with Down Syndrome have an extra APP gene and presumably increased expression of APP, potentially increasing the amount of amyloid plaque buildup. For this reason, familial Alzheimer disease often progresses by age 40 in patients with Down Syndrome. Symptoms of Alzheimer disease worsen as plaques and tangles buildup and damage to the neurons accumulates. In the early stages, symptoms might not even be detectable. As it progresses, though, patients lose short-term memory. Like, for example, they might not be able to remember what they had for breakfast that morning. They then progress to a loss of motor skills making things like eating difficult without help. Also language becomes affected making it more difficult to communicate. Eventually they lose long term memory, like forgetting the name of their spouse or even that they're married in the 1st place. And they progressively become more disoriented, which can be dangerous because they might wander from home and get lost. In the late stages they become bedridden and the most common cause of death is actually infection, like pneumonia. Diagnosis of Alzheimer disease is really tough because the only way to definitively show that a person had Alzheimer's is by performing a brain biopsy after autopsy. Usually a clinician will, therefore, make a diagnosis after excluding other causes of dementia. Currently there isn't any cure for Alzheimer disease. Some medications exist but the benefits are small and there haven't been any medications that clearly and definitively halt the progression of Alzheimer's."

Just a quick edit - Short-term memory ISN'T remembering what you had for breakfast. Remembering recent events is still Long-Term Memory (Episodic), and the unability to do so is called anterograde amnesia (inability to form new memories). Short-Term Memory (also noted as Working Memory and sometimes used interchangeably) refers to the memory of the now - spanning back SECONDS, not hours - it is what helps you remember the beginning of your sentence, do mental calculations, remember a phone number being said to you as you type it up in your phone, etc. It's also what is impaired temporarily when someone's high on weed, for example.

I realize this video was posted years ago, but I'm wondering what sources has been used making this, and what scientific proof supports these theories (especially regarding the genetics). Your description of microtubules is also a bit misleading as their primary function is in fact NOT the transportation of nutrients. So please, to avoid confusion and misinformation, add sources to videos like this. (then interested people can also read more) This is otherwise a very good video, and manages to sum up a very difficult topic.

Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention! I will be sure to pass this along to my colleagues on the Content Team so they can check the details with our Chief Medical Officer. 😊

Best lecture

I can see how this video would be really helpful for people new to this. But I love how well your other videos teach me. So I was wondering if you could make one of these on the insulin receptor signaling pathway?

Being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. has been a major loss of money and has caused major problems in my immune system,but when I came across Dr. Osaka on KZbin Channel and he recommended his herbal medicine I got completely cured of Alzheimer's disease.

[@linhtran5681]

Thank you, my professor explained this with the thickest incoherent accent I have ever heard, and could not understand a thing.

Happy to help, Linh! 😊

Really hope new research in the field will find something to slow down or cure any disease that affects the memory. It is often called here in Finland as the "läheiden sairaus", meaning that the close ones to the patient suffers more from the disease, than the one living with their disease, in their still remaining memory bubble of the past. Just imagine, that your father/grandfather, mother/grandmother that has known you for your whole life suddenly don't even remember who you are, and that they could behave completely alien to what you are used to. Nurse as profession, and I have seen many cases of childrens "abandoning" their mother/father because every time they meet, the ill do not even know who they are talking to. Dementia is an ever more appearing disease, even amont younger(60+) these days, and I really hope that something to cure or slow the progress of the disease is on its way, in the near future. An reply to another video from an other video, but still relevant, hopefully.
