Many understand the basic function of mitochondria, an organelle that is the "powerhouse of the cell". Mitochondria generate energy through the creation of adenosine phosphate, ATP, and aid with sending signals between cells, as well as cell destruction. When the neuronal pathways start to go awry in Alzheimer's Disease, mitochondrial dysfunction plays a large role. Calcium homeostasis is also central to mitochondrial function. As people age, neuroscientists predict that cal
