A theory of dementia caused by neurodegeneration was proposed. It was based on the engagement of proton - antiproton entangled pairs. One can find the details of the same in the book, The Brain: A Systems Neuroscience Perspective. Chapter 5 of this book. It should be noted that there are multiple causative agents of this type of loss of memory in an individual. I wonder how these particles can be instrumental in finding the cause which has the largest share in the effect, loss of memory.
Memory loss in neurodegenerative diseases is often the result of a complex interplay of biological, genetic, and environmental factors. Here are some of the key culprits:
- **Protein misfolding and aggregation**: In conditions like Alzheimer's, abnormal proteins such as amyloid-beta and tau accumulate in the brain, disrupting communication between neurons and eventually killing them.
- **Oxidative stress**: An imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants can damage brain cells over time, contributing to cognitive decline.
- **Genetic mutations**: Certain inherited mutations—like those in the *APP*, *PSEN1*, or *HTT* genes—can predispose individuals to diseases such as Alzheimer's or Huntington's.
- **Environmental toxins**: Long-term exposure to pesticides, heavy metals, or industrial chemicals has been linked to increased risk of neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson’s.
- **Autoimmune responses**: Sometimes the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy brain tissue, leading to inflammation and neuronal damage.
- **Lifestyle factors**: Poor diet, lack of exercise, chronic stress, and social isolation can all accelerate brain aging and increase vulnerability to memory-related disorders.
Nothing can propagate faster than processes of Quantum Entanglement. Therefore, the proposed theory of dementia due to neurodegeneration has the potential to be instrumental in figuring out the leading cause among the above-mentioned factors. This information would be valuable for those treating dementia of Alzheimer type.
