Give this one a try later!
Most individuals would prefer to die at home rather than in a hospital.

Module question: Summarize current findings regarding what causes AD.
Give this one a try later!
Research has ruled out many environmental substances (for example,
aluminum and aspartame) as primary causes of AD. However, the precise
causes are still unknown. While amlyoid plaques and neurofibrillay tangles
characterize the brains of patients with AD (and contribute to neural death
and brain shrinkage), these abnormalities can also be observed in the
, brains of asymptomatic individuals. This leads researchers to investigate still
further for insight into why individuals may function so differently with and
without the presence of these abnormal brain structures.
