About the book: 2021 / A new book by the author of the best-selling book "Fragments of Childhood Trauma" will tell about a revolutionary scientific discovery that will forever change the approach to the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and depression and other disorders in brain function. For a long time it was believed that the role of microglia - tiny brain cells - is secondary. But recent studies have proven that it maintains a delicate balance of physical and mental health, and under the influence of stress, various injuries and viruses, it provokes brain damage - from memory problems and anxiety to Alzheimer's disease and depression. However, under certain conditions, microglia can become a savior angel that heals the brain. In this book, the famous scientific journalist Donna Jackson Nakazawa not only tells how to properly “reboot” microglia, but also gives hope for recovery to millions of people.
