My Brain and Me: Is an Alzheimer's vaccine possible? Prof. Eitan Okun | Bar-Da'at Podcasts
Alzheimer’s: disease mechanisms in the brain and the role of vaccination in reducing risk.
The episode discusses Alzheimer’s as a long-developing disease, beginning with amyloid buildup followed by tau-driven neuronal death and cognitive decline. It highlights the combined role of genetic, environmental, and immune factors, and presents an association between vaccination and reduced risk, likely through lowering pathogen presence.
