Valley Of Forgetting by Jennie Erin Smith
Alzheimer's Families and the Search for a Cure
In the 1980s neurologist Francisco Lopera identified a hereditary mutation behind an early‑onset form of Alzheimer’s affecting families in villages near Medellín. Over decades, those families and researchers have taken part in clinical studies and trials to understand how the mutation causes dementia and whether it can be prevented. The book follows the patients, caregivers, and scientists and explores the human and ethical challenges of that research.
