Understanding
the reason behind Alzheimers has been going on since
1906. It has been separated into stages based on changes in the brain. It is
a very complex disease that takes a toll on the brain over an extended period
of time. Scientists are constantly researching genetics and reasons as
to why it attacks at such a late age. |

There has also been evidence as to whether or not
it can inherited, being linked by genes. A specific gene APOE4, if
present, can increase the chance of a person getting the disease. Some
research is also being done on SORL1 gene just recently being found in a
study done in 2007. |
