Alzheimer’s Disease Research
h/t Letha McGarity for triggering this lazy #ScienceSunday post about Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Many of you may have heard of amyloid plaques and how patients with AD have brains riddled with amyloid plaques. In fact, Auguste Deter pictured below, was the first AD patient and her brain was riddled with what we now know are amyloid plaques.
However, I’m going to do a lazy post and direct you to a series of videos here:
Full disclosure, I collaborate with Dr. Klein. However, he really is a great scientist and a great guy. In the videos he’ll explain how the hippocampus plays a role and how oligomers are the real story.
