It is. It's very interesting. It could be genetic, and I thought we also talked about it in organ transplant.

I think so, because it can occur because of infected tissue that you are implanted with or from an organ.

Yeah, and this is neuronal loss due to holes literally being eaten into your brain by this disease. Yeah. And then you can also get dementia from when you have HIV. If you are a boxer or, say, a football player in the NFL, you may have dementia from a traumatic brain injury like a concussion or repeated concussions. Yeah. And there are plenty of diseases. There's also reversible dementia too.

If you have a vitamin deficiency, if you – take certain medications, you can develop dementia, but this is reversible. For the most part, though, age-associated dementia is not reversible. And like we said, it's kind of tricky to diagnose this stuff Because it is normal for people to become more forgetful as you age.

And then to make it even more confounding, if you're a diagnostician, not only do people get more forgetful, there's an intermediate stage between dementia, a dementia diagnosis, and just normal age-related forgetfulness. And that is called mild cognitive impairment.

So if you can catch this, from what I understand, and we'll talk about treatments and everything later, but if you can catch things like Alzheimer's and other diseases that lead to dementia early, although there's no cure for any of them, you can... You can manage them a lot better and delay, say, death or like the real devastation associated with it by a significant amount of time.
