The effects of Alzheimers disease

Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most common forms of dementia. It leads to greatly deteriorating memory, loss of cognition, and other behaviors. Alzheimer’s disease is a chronic disease for which there is no cure. Alzheimer’s starts with a slow, progressive decline that eventually begins to impair the ability to perform the simple activities of everyday living. Alzheimer’s disease is an incurable disease that eventually leads to the death of the connections between neurons in the brain.

Dr. Alois Alzheimer

first identified the disease in 1906. He described the two worst parts of the disease: plaques, and tangles. These interfere with vital processes, choking off the living cells. When brain cells degenerate and die, the brain shrinks in some regions.
