A new cause of Alzheimer’s discovered
One of the most heartbreaking and frightening conditions that people may face is Alzheimer’s disease. Although most people associate Alzheimer’s with old age, that’s not entirely accurate. It can begin in the brain 30 years before symptoms appear, and the characteristic amyloid plaques found in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients have been detected in young adult brains.
