Hi there! This is my post about an article of The
Guardian. Teacher! sorry for the delay =(
The next article is about Alzheimer, which
is actually considered the “disease of our times”. By the author, Simon
Garfield, this disease has strongly entered in our culture, and it's clearly
present in our everyday language, mainly in jokes about memory.
The more visible, disturbing and feared
symptom of the Alzheimer is the severe memory loss. In this aspect,
psychologists have say before that “we are our memories”; and this affirmation
can be seen clearly in this disease. Actually, there are a lot of knowledges about
the brain function, and this scientific advance it maybe will help at the
future: “and we are now able to pinpoint its decline and hint at its repair”.
In fact, pharmaceutical industry is hardly working in the creation of drugs
with components that has several influence in the brain, with respect to
neurotransmitters, hippocampus, connecting cells of the brain and enzymes,
mainly. By now, these drugs have been experimented in animals, principally,
monkeys and dogs.
At
the moment, there is no a certainly cure for the Alzheimer, but there is
advanced studies and investigations about several things that have an influence
in the condition of the disease.
I
invite you to read the next piece of news:. Let’s hope that in the future,
researchers can find a cure:
Oh, I saw a beautiful movie in the past week "Lejos de ella". This movie talk about a life a elderly with this illness.
