Abstract:	Every 4 seconds someone in the world is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease (AD), being the most prevalence dementia nowadays. Despite this fact, there is still no cure, but there are a lot of projects looking for it. Most of the main symptoms are acquainted by everyone. However, there is a phase in this dementia that most people ignore. It is known that there is a preclinical stage in which there are no symptoms, but there are, indeed, changes in the brain leading to the pathology. This gives a possibility to open a window of action that allows us to stop the disease before it shows the main symptoms. The molecular basis of the dementia are more or less clear, but not as much as we would like. We know that there are two main proteins causing this disease, other than a great deal of different factors that have a big influence in the physiopathology. But, what is the triggering?.
