An amazing story, written in an exceptionally penetrating manner, of one of the most mysterious diseases in history - Alzheimer's disease. Its symptoms were first noted over 100 years ago, and now, according to Joseph Gebelli, scientists are closer than ever to defeating her. Meanwhile, the disease has assumed epidemic proportions, affecting tens of millions of people around the world: according to rough estimates, a third of the living have a predisposition to the disease. The population of the Earth is aging, while scientists are diligently looking for an "antidote". And Joseph Gebelli, one of the leading representatives of British neuroscience, was among them. His grandfather lost his memory and personality untimely, and years later, his loving grandson managed to write a book that was so needed - both the story of a dear person and a scientific detective story that tells about puzzles that scientists have to solve in laboratories. The search for Gebelli begins in XNUMXth-century Germany and post-war England, leading through the jungles of Papua New Guinea, Japan, America, India and China to Iceland, Sweden and Colombia. Its heroes are scientists from all over the world, as well as brave patients and their families who have turned the idea of the disease upside down.
Joseph Gebelli did his PhD in neuroscience at the Institute of Neurology at University College London. His research focuses on the cellular nature of Alzheimer's disease. G. Gebelli is the author of numerous scientific articles and popular op-eds for publications such as The Guardian and The Telegraph.
