An amazing story, written in an exceptionally heartfelt manner, of one of the most mysterious diseases in history - Alzheimer's disease. Its symptoms were first noted more than 100 years ago, and now, according to Joseph Gebelli, scientists are closer than ever to defeating it. Meanwhile, the disease has reached epidemic proportions, affecting tens of millions of people around the world: according to rough estimates, a third of those living are predisposed to the disease. The Earth's population is aging while scientists are diligently searching for an “antidote.” And Joseph Gebelli, one of the prominent representatives of British neuroscience, was among them. His grandfather suffered an untimely loss of memory and personality, and years later his loving grandson managed to write the book that was so needed - both the story of a loved one and a scientific detective story about the puzzles that scientists have to solve in laboratories. The search for Jebelli begins in 19th-century Germany and post-war England, leading through the jungles of Papua New Guinea, Japan, America, India and China to Iceland, Sweden and Colombia. His heroes are scientists from around the world, as well as brave patients and their families who have revolutionized the understanding of disease. Joseph Gebelli completed his PhD in neurobiology at the Institute of Neuroscience at University College London. His research focuses on the cellular nature of Alzheimer's disease. J. Gebelli is the author of numerous scientific articles and popular notes for publications such as The Guardian and The Telegraph.
