Abstract
There are reasons to believe that the presence of magnetite enables the human brain to store information. If so, the presence of magnetite in the human heart might suggest a similar function. Alzheimer’s patients often experience heart problems. The amount of plaques in the heart is also increased in Alzheimer’s disease and its composition is similar to the brain plaques. As the brain’s neurons destruct during the disease, magnetite and prion proteins are released and possibly incorporated into the amyloid plaques, at least in the brain.
