Drachman et al. theory on dementia

Drachman et al. proposed a theory about dementia emphasizing the interaction between brain structure and function. They suggested that dementia arises when the brain's ability to function properly is impaired by damage or degeneration. This leads to cognitive decline, affecting memory, reasoning, and daily activities. Their work highlights not only the importance of brain pathology, like amyloid plaques, but also how changes in neural networks contribute to symptoms. Understanding this relationship helps in identifying potential treatments and interventions to support brain health and tackle the challenges of dementia.
