Abstract
Alzheimer´s disease is a brain disease that affects the memory and causes disturbances in thinking, planning, language and perception. It has been repeated in the literature that the lack of oxygen and glucose in the brain cells make them function improperly and then die. As engineers we studied the behavior of blood flow inside the capillary and the brain cells. We have designed analog circuits that correspond to the blood flow and cells region models in the human brain. The control theory for continuous time systems has been applied to the design of circuits to study and analyze the results and to find the relationship between two models.
