What a Tau protein is and how it plays a role in Alzheimer's disease
How Alzheimer's disease is diagnosed
How amyloid plaques alter your brain

Professor of neuroscience and anatomy Goran Šimić joins the conversation to discuss Alzheimer's disease and Dementia.

Since Alzheimer's disease cannot be solved by evolution or natural selection, lifestyle can play a role until a certain age. However, past a certain point, genetic factors are the key in determining the onset of neurodegenerative diseases.
