That's interesting. It could be multiple different dementia diseases that are different enough to require their own hypothesis. I recently read League of Denial: The NFL's Concussion Crisis. CTE is also a brain condition that is only diagnosed postmortem due to the invasive procedure needed. It seems the brains of living are indeed difficult to study.
- pedalpete 2y agoI think another thing to consider is that we really don't know how the brain works. Sure we know there are neurons, and they create electrical charges, and there are neurotransmitters, etc etc. but we REALLY don't have a model for how these things relate to thought, memory, etc. I equate it to how our understanding of the body has changed over time. When we understood fluid dynamics, we looked at the body as a series of pumps and magical fluid called blood which carried nutrients. When we discovered electricity, we slapped our foreheads, and thought "of course!! it's electric!!" and now we relate everything to our understanding of electrical activity AND hydrodynamics. I am sure there is a time in the not to distant future where we will discover how the mind works is related to our understanding of quantum...and we'll continue down the rabbit hole.
