Neuroscientist Lisa Genova talks about the human brain and neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer’s, and what we can do to prevent them.
Alzheimer’s is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that causes memory loss, behavioral issues and other difficult problems ending with dementia and death. It’s named after German pathologist Alois Alzheimer (1864-1915), who formally described the disease in 1906.
