Why do we lose ourselves, even when our bodies are still here?
This book offers a modern perspective on Alzheimer's disease: from the history of its discovery to the latest treatments. Neurologist and neurobiologist Michael Hornberger explores key questions: why memory is failing now, whether new medications work, and whether it's possible to trick your genetics. Particular attention is paid to risk factors we can truly change: obesity, hypertension, sleep quality, and physical activity. Unlike dry reference books, this book reads like a fascinating investigation. The author doesn't simplify, but he doesn't intimidate with science either: he explains step by step how and why people with Alzheimer's get lost in familiar places and which rare forms of the disease mimic vision or speech problems. This book is for anyone who wants to understand, not just be afraid.
