This program looks at Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), an incurable illness that destroys the human brain and is generally transmitted genetically or through blood transfusions. Cattle share a similar disease called bovine spongiform encephalopathy, also known as mad cow disease. When people with no history of CJD or blood transfusions began contracting the disease, the question arose: could eating tainted beef be the cause? Neurologist Dr. Stanley Prusiner discovered the harmless prion and its mutated form, which is the cause of both diseases.
