With the revolutionary discovery that the brain can change itself and adapt under certain circumstances cause a complete change in the way that neuroscientists treated and searched neurodegenerative diseases, especially Alzheimer. This article’s purpose is to bring a greater comprehension of everything that science knows and doesn’t, about Alzheimer’s disease, bringing its epidemiology, risk factors, main causes, the best treatments e list all of this with neuroplasticity, biochemistry, biophysics and genetics.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Student Research}, author={Peixoto, Henrique and Rodrigues, Romulo and Nunes, Samuel}, year={2023}, month={Feb.} }
