In what way can education act as a protective factor against Alzheimer's disease?
What will be an ideal response?
The process of learning that accompanies higher education and occupational complexity promotes neural activity and increases connections among neurons, thickening the cortex and boosting cognitive reserve, which can protect patients from the effects of brain atrophy and synaptic loss. Therefore, greater cognitive reserve can buffer against losses.
