The surgery usually takes about 2 to 3 hours.

Question: How does Pick's disease develop?
Answer: Your brain uses a transport system to help move around the nutrients it needs. This system is made of proteins that like railroad tracks guiding trains guide nutrients where they need to go. The proteins that keep the tracks straight are called tau proteins. When you have Pick's disease, the tau proteins don't work the way they should. You may also have more of them in your brain than other people. These abnormal clumps of tau proteins are called Pick bodies. Pick bodies "derail" your transport system. The track is no longer straight, and nutrients in the brain can't get where they need to go. This causes brain damage that can't be reversed.
