It is fascinating and important, which is why it’s such a tragedy when it stops working correctly.The Alzheimer’s Association has put together a great tour of the brain. The first few pages explain how the brain works. The last few show how Alzheimer’s affects the brain. You don’t need to be a brain surgeon to understand the tour. Everything is broken down into simple elements.It also has interactive features. Mouse over colored words to highlight parts of the accompanying pictures.If you know someone with Alzheimer’s, you should visit this site. There are links to other resources and services.
