The answer is yes.

 

But synaptic plasticity improves memory whether or not it's genetic. Why would an inherited genetic predisposition have anything to do with it?

I was thinking cognitive memory to be independent from synaptic plasticity since memory formation is mediated by DNA.

 

Hence, could there be a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer disease?
