Neurodegeneración Y Alzhéimer

Neurodegenerative diseases represent a challenge for research because most of them affect the brain, the most complex organ. Alzheimer's is the most prevalent of these diseases and the leading cause of dementia, a major challenge to the success of longevity. This book presents information supported by scientific research and professional and expert knowledge. Here, ideas and concepts are explained that will allow us to understand, among other things, that Alzheimer's and dementia are not synonymous, that senile dementia does not exist, or that we can act individually and collectively throughout life to prevent Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases. In addition, we will explore the scientific advances that are revolutionizing our understanding of Alzheimer's, the biomarkers that allow us to detect it earlier. To top it all off, we look at the challenging and exciting things that the world of technology and big data already offers and holds in store for this type of research to pave the way for a future of greater quality of life for those affected.
