Um So what else can we tell you just to give you kind of lay of the land ? So the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease would probably be Lewy body dementia followed by Parkinson's disease . Although the rate of growth of Parkinson's disease is the highest .
The reason I ask is , yeah , every once in a while a news report will come out and based on a legitimate um case study where um they'll do a scan on some person and discover that they're missing literally half their cerebral cortex , like huge chunks of brain and they're functioning relatively normally . And so here we're talking about a neurodegenerative disease of relatively it's widespread , but there are a few hotspots , of course , in the brain that degenerate more profoundly than others and , and the people dying . So that makes sense .
What is the story with neurodegenerative disease ? Alzheimer's in particular , how can we offset it ?
So I think we'd probably be most , you know , we those three diseases , we want to really be paying a lot of attention to . As you know , there are a lot of other neurodegenerative diseases . Every one of these things is devastating like multiple , multiple sclerosis .
Irrespective of whether or not we get what is called Alzheimer's dementia . So Alzheimer's disease is both the most prevalent form of dementia and the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease . So it occupies that unique spot .
