How and why we get Alzheimer's disease

With regard to the sporadic form of Alzheimer's disease, a reduction to molecular-biological or genetic processes does not sufficiently contribute to the understanding of its development. Its pathogenesis only becomes clearer from an emergent perspective, a critical examination of the existing hypotheses on the development of the disease and the inclusion of fundamental scientific findings. Against an extremely complex background, the energetic factor stands out. The efficiency of some processes in cellular energy use and production points to principles of quantum information. In this context, potentially new diagnostic and therapeutic methods are discussed.

Norbert Wrobel, who lives in Berlin, studied medicine and was licensed as a doctor in 1984. In a broad-based basic university education at the Freie Universität (FU) Berlin, he subsequently specialized in internal medicine, intensive care medicine, emergency medicine and later also in geriatric medicine. Since then he has worked in inpatient hospital treatment. His current research focus is on chronic degenerative diseases of the brain, heart and skeletal muscles.
