Researchers have discovered that Alzheimer's can be determined by genes.
1)Purpose. The hippocampus is known for its role as a brain's structure for memory. As cerebral cortex shrinks so does memory causing hippocampus, and other brain structures to decrease their performance. According to researchers there is a healthy RNA and an altered RNA. Seventy year olds were analyzed the greater the gene score, the better they could think and remember. Those who were diagnosed with Alzheimer's had an “altered...RNA.” It is no longer considered to be a healthy gene. Thus suggesting the RNA cannot carry no instructions from DNA causing the lack of memory.
2)Information. A gene signature is a group of genes in a cell that have similar characteristics of a medical disease. The gene can determine the beginning of a disease such as Alzheimer. Dementia is a …show more content…
My reference was Visualizing Psychology, chapter two titled, “Neuroscience and Biological Foundation.” On page fifty one it demonstrated brain structures such as the hippocampus and the cerebral cortex. On chapter seven titled, “Memory”; page one hundred ninety it explains in detail about certain brain structured that relates to memory.
4)I thought I was well informed about Alzheimer's but I was not. Throughout the semester I have learned how the human's brain functions and I am still learning. I understood Alzheimer is an illness of memory loss. However, I was amazed how the rain has a huge role on this disease. I assumed that this article was about a cure for Alzheimer instead it was about genes.
5)Implications. With this new research, researchers can begin with what age does Alzheimer's develop. It seems that sixty five year old citizens still have a healthy memory compared to seventy years old, who are already diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Perhaps, there is no cure for this disease but there must be a treatment for the loss of memory. There is always the solution to a
