Scientists have also come with the conclusion that for most people environmental factors, lifestyle, and genetics affect the brain overtime. In fact less than 5% is guaranteed genetics. In an Alzheimer's infected brain, there are fewer cells and connections which ultimately results in a shrinkage in size. There are two types of abnormalities in Alzheimer's brain tissue known as plaques and tangles. A plaques are clumps of protein, also called beta-amyloid, damage and destroy brain cells in a couple of different ways, interfering with cell-to-cell communication being one. Tangles are failures of system transport. Tau, a protein in the body that is required to work to carry essential nutrients and materials in the body, twists and gets tangled which leads to failure in transporting. Tangles strongly impact in decline and death of brain
