WHAT IF? If you could detect early-stage Alzheimer’sdisease, would you expect to see brain changes that weresimilar to, although less extensive than, those seen inpatients who have died of this disease? Explain.
Please answer both.its all a one question.
One way to classify brain regions is based on their function. Consequently, brain regions can be classified as Primary Sensory Areas, Unimodal Association Areas, or Multimodal Association Areas.
a) What do Primary Sensory Areas and Unimodal Association Areas have in common?
b) What do Multimodal Association Areas do, in general? And what is 1 example of a cognitive function that would require the involvement of Multimodal Association Areas?

The cause of Alzheimer's disease is still not well understood. It is thought to be a combination of genetics, lifestyle, and environmental causes. It is also difficult to diagnose Alzheimer's disease during the initial stages of the disease as symptoms can be mistaken for normal ageing. Currently, there is no cure for the disease. Medication can help manage the symptoms but degeneration of brain tissue cannot be stopped or reversed. Currently, the medication that manages the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease is a type of cholinesterase inhibitor. In other words, the medication inhibits the function of cholinesterase and helps in brain functioning and memory. What is the function of cholinesterase in the synapse? How does a cholinesterase inhibitor work in a synapse? Explain how cholinesterase inhibitors are able to increase brain functioning and…arrow_forward
