that's sure to be a tremendous value to researchers who are working on autism, schizophrenia, epilepsytraumatic brain injury, depression, parkinson's disease, and yes, all forms of dementia, including alzheimer's. let me tell you one recent finding in brain science that's generated a lot of excitement. it involves a protein called tau. this is one of the major culprits in alzheimer's disease. the other one is amaloid. in normal brain cells, this tau protein stabilizes structures that are called microtube yules and that are involved in internal transport. that's what you see happening here with this amazing machine inside the cell. but in alzheimer's, the tau separates from those microtube yules, causing them to fall apart. strands of this tau protein then combine to form tangles within the neuron, disabling the transport system and destroying the cell ultimately, as you see in this animation. neurons in certain parts of the brain disconnect from each other and eventually they die, causing memory loss. the effect on the brain, the brain shrinks and begins to lose function, showing you h

if it is schizophrenia, it goes to imh, the institutes have a mission with certain diseases. >> whatc hoops that most researchers simply don't want to jump through. neuroscientist carl hart. >> there are not many people studying marijuana. it's very difficult to get approved to study marijuana. >> what's nice about israel is that the government is helping the research to happen. >> and it's research that could give hope to patients like charlotte figge. scientists in israel are learning that marijuana use might actually protect the brain, not damage it. >> they've been able to show that it can decrease the amount of brain damage from head injuries in mice. >> right. to be able to give a medicine after the injury to reverse some of the damage, that's huge. >> i want to paint my nails. >> you want to paint your nails? i'll paint your nails. >> i literally see charlotte's brain making connections that haven't been made in years. it's almost seeming to build her brain where before it seemed broken. >> and while scientists are still at the early stages of knowing if this is actually happe
