It is now clear that brain insult is an environmental risk factor for AD, while on the other hand, lifestyle components such as exercise and level of education may play a protective role, delaying the onset and/or severity of the disease. Evidence from experiments in rodent models of Alzheimers disease contributes major insight into the molecular mechanisms by which the environment plays its role in AD. Additionally, there are disea.
