The human brain is one of the most unique structures in the human body cannot only controls the way we think speak for communicate with others it also takes care of her automatic functions such as breathing hearing vision. It is one of the most fascinating parts of the human body and yet it is still one of the most misunderstood parts of the human body psychologists and doctors alike are constantly finding out new things on how the human brain works each and everyday. However there is a disease that affects the human brain that even today …show more content…
While the research was going on through the autopsy he noticed that there were several abnormalities within the her brain this was due to some form of plaque. And also he discovered that there was even some loss of connections between the nerve cells in the brain. Even today doctors and researchers still do not fully understand how the disease progresses they have a hypothesis that the damage starts at least a decade before any eventual signs. Some of these particular symptoms start showing us loss of memory and a mild stage. Early on researchers discovered that Alzheimer’s can actually start in patients in their early 30s to 60s however this represents a very small percentage of the people who actually have the disease. Some researchers believe that there are additional genes that may influence of how the disease may develop later on in life in recent studies they’ve made hypothesis that heart disease strokes diabetes and even obesity may be some leading cause for this particular disease. There is no definite way to prove that an individual has Alzheimer’s without taking a sample of the brain and more often this is only done after the patient is deceased that …show more content…
