A proposito di questo titolo
For decades, scientists have treated amyloid-beta as toxic waste that must be scrubbed from the brain to cure Alzheimer's Disease. But what if we’ve been wrong? In this episode, we break down a groundbreaking new hypothesis: The Amyloid Paradox.
We explore research suggesting that amyloid-beta isn't just "plaque"—it’s actually a crucial "volume knob" for memory and learning.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
The Failed Strategy: Why billions spent on "plaque-busting" drugs haven't restored memory.
The New Hypothesis: How amyloid-beta regulates synaptic plasticity (the brain's ability to rewire itself).
The "Goldilocks" Solution: Why the future of treatment isn't elimination, but modulation—finding the perfect chemical balance to restart the machinery of memory.
The Evidence: How researchers are using electrophysiological recordings and cognitive tests in mice to prove that we can turn the lights back on in the brain.
Join the Conversation:Are we witnessing a paradigm shift from "waste management" to "metabolic repair"?
