Alzheimer's disease is a neurological disorder in which the death of brain cells causes memory loss and cognitive decline.
It is the most common type of dementia, accounting for 60 to 80 percent of cases of dementia in the United States.
In 2013, 6.8 million people in the U.S. had been diagnosed with dementia. Of these, 5 million had a diagnosis of Alzheimer's. By 2050, the numbers are expected to double.
Scientists believe that for most people, Alzheimer's disease is caused by a combination of genetic, lifestyle and environmental factors that affect the brain over time.
Although the causes of Alzheimer's aren't yet fully understood, its effect on the brain is clear. Alzheimer's disease damages and kills brain cells. A brain affected by Alzheimer's disease has many fewer cells and many fewer connections among surviving cells than does a healthy brain.
As more and more brain cells die, Alzheimer's leads to significant brain shrinkage. When doctors examine Alzheimer's brain tissue under the microscope, they see two types of abnormalities that are considered hallmarks of the disease:
• Plaques. These clumps of a protein called beta-amyloid may damage and destroy brain cells in several ways, including interfering with cell-to-cell communication. Although the ultimate cause of brain-cell death in Alzheimer's isn't known, the collection of beta-amyloid on the outside of brain cells is a prime suspect.
• Tangles. Brain cells depend on an internal support and transport system to carry nutrients and other essential materials throughout their long extensions. This system requires the normal structure and functioning of a protein called tau.
In Alzheimer's, threads of tau protein twist into abnormal tangles inside brain cells, leading to failure of the transport system. This failure is also strongly implicated in the decline and death of brain cells.

I want to share with all an important information That will be helpful to general public. my mom got cure from Alzheimer’s disease. The first thing I noticed with my mother in law that alarmed me was not using names of people - instead she would say he or she. Often switching from one to the other mid sentence. She also got angry at doctors and even her long time friends for saying something that she misinterpreted. Then after serval test the doctor confirm She was diagnosed with early onset dementia. when she was 74 years old. She was confirmed positive of Alzheimer's disease which almost devastated her. She was placed under treatment for several months without any good improvement or good results. I meant a post on CZcams about how a man was cure and recover from Alzheimer’s disease. With the help of doctor who used herbal remedies to cure her. I don’t really believe in herbs 🌿 until I saw the herbal medicine cured my mother from this illness. If you have similar issues like my mother’s issue you can contact the the doctors via this WhatsApp number [phone] or email this via drstevenherbalformula@ gmail. com
He is also specialized in the treatment of any brain disease.

As a CVA survivor, if I’m looking for something I cannot have noise going on, have to mute TV. In stores if music is on I can’t concentrate on what I’m looking for. Going in2 stores is very difficult so I don’t go much at all. Confusion grows w/ background noise. Is this common? CVA affected frontal lobe& R side of brain.

I mean they can do a SPECT scan, which will usually show parietal lobe damage in the case of alzheimers.
