History of Alzheimer’s Disease: From Discovery to Modern Neuroscience

A detailed history of Alzheimer’s disease from its discovery in 1906 to modern neuroscience, including WHO and CDC data, pathology, and key research milestones.

A featured graphic with a white background titled 'A Potential New Trigger for Alzheimer's Disease'. It features two main boxes comparing cell transport side-by-side. The left box, 'Healthy Brain Cell Transport,' depicts tau proteins successfully stabilizing tracks so nutrients and materials move freely. The right box, 'Disrupted & Tangled,' shows amyloid beta displacing tau, causing cell transport to break down and tau proteins to clump into a chaotic purple web labeled 'Tau tangles'. A summary line at the bottom reads, 'A focus on cell transport as a key driver of disease'.

Scientists Rethink Alzheimer’s Disease Trigger as New Research Challenges Traditional Theory

New research reveals that Alzheimer’s disease may trigger inside brain cells far earlier than previously thought. Discover how amyloid beta disrupts vital tau proteins, causing a catastrophic breakdown in the neuron’s transport system long before widespread plaques and tangles form.
