My father struggles with Alzheimer’s disease, it’s amazing that this popped up on my timeline

[@edgaraquinde1147]

perfect timing eh, i don't believe in coincidence. popped up to help you find your missing answers. it's happening to me now! i remember events way back in time but not events recently like what I ate last night or the name of the person I had a chat with yesterday morning but I remember that person's face. LoL. Spend time with your loved ones before you're not recognized.

Great presentation. I enjoyed it.

I didn't realise researchers had gotten so far in understanding the mechanism! Kudos to everyone involved. I've wandered for a while, if Alzheimer's had any connection to the neural pruning in early adulthood?

It is good to know the 1/9 at 65; I am the son of a father who died wl Alzheimer's.

Medicine starts and ends in molecular level, not clinical not cytological or histological levels. Once I saw molecular explanation I was interested, good video but audio quality sucks

The Finland studies are of the correct origin because it seeks cause _ Too bad such little time here was given to it _ Though all other information here has its place and value with slowing down the progression, etc it is the typical limitation, or flaw if you will, with Western Medicine in that it is basically a system of managing medical conditions _ And there will always be several exceptions as is the way of life anyway _ Very seldom is there a cure, permanent that is, without knowing the cause - edited: i would like to see a study of people 70+, for starters, that are free of any symptoms as one can imagine how helpful this can be when added to something like the Finland studies . . . :>/
