Have you ever heard of a disease that kidnaps your memories? That’s because of a neurological disorder called Alzheimer. To understand how Alzheimer works we can imagine that our body is a factory run by multiple CEOs called neurons living inside the brain. Neurons communicate using neurotransmitters, their texts messages. Their tasks include making and keeping our memories. Here you can discover how these files get lost and how we can make them stay for a little longer by increasing the acetylcholine levels.
