This pandemic of the post-industrial age wreaks havoc on the elderly people (some as young as 40), particularly in the richer and more powerful nations. With only a few weak hypotheses, its cause is not understood; all proposed medicines have either failed clinical trials or proven ineffective. In this book, I lay out a new, relatively stronger and more broad-based theory of dementia causation, exploring beyond Matsuyama's 1989 theory that held pervasive Microtubule collapse to be a key characteristic of dementia. In brief: Psychological functions are carried out by neurocircuits containing myriads of Dopaminergic and Norepic systems; due to excessive electrical signalling in \"dopamine-heavy\" types of brains -- the signal conducting micro-tubules break down, causing the neuronal collapse which characterizes dementia. More the signalling volume, more the stress (either mechanical and\/or thermal and\/or chemical stress), which proves fatal in the end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anand Madhu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8192355977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788192355979\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Djedefsauron\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.19d","brand":"Anand Madhu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44122734428415,"sku":"9788192355979","price":7.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b414bb92-d534-4510-b7e4-5933ed481ffa.jpg?v=1687426837","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/brain-function-and-dysfunction-anand-madhu-9788192355979","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
