Alzheimer's disease

  A century ago a German doctor called Alice outside spotted anomalies in brain sections from a patient with dementia.  Ever since people have been studying the strange plaques and tangles he saw in the hope that we could one day on the stand and kill what is now known outside his disease.  Insoluble deposits of a peptide called amyloid-beta A. B.   The phone when approaching.  Because the protein is sequentially clean by 2 and a beta and gamma secretase.  All the molecules are generated by this cleavage and may play a role in the disease but A. B. tech is the main culprit.  ABC tends to miss full become sticky eventually clumping together home saludable all the goodness.  Some of these aggregates into large insoluble fibrils the deposits in the brain plaques.  The.  In several forms of speech.  We don't know exactly which species is toxic research shows that the communication and plasticity sign up.  This could be what stops the brain from full.  The big memories.  New homes on th

Early-onset Alzheimer's

Though the effects of the disease are similar, there are two main types. Early-onset Alzheimer's. This type happens to people who are younger than age 65. Often, they're in their 40s or 50s when they're diagnosed with the disease. When it affects older adults, though most develop normal functioning by themselves and don't require medication, some patients may have a high rate of memory loss after long-term treatment—the researchers estimate that one out of 10 can experience an average dropout for four years while developing dementia. People usually first notice symptoms during middle adulthood; once those begin occurring, more frequent diagnosis is needed so doctors know which stages overlap each other. "If you take care," says Dr. Roberts at NYU Langone Medical Center on Long Island recently before talking about his study, "his brain gets less responsive through aging." And he believes this should be prevented. This type happens to people who are yo

Neurodegenerative disease

Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia Alzheimer's disease is considered a neurodegenerative disease meaning it causes the degeneration or loss of neurons in the brain particularly in the cortex. It has become known as the "second oldest progressive condition" after Parkinsonism where there have been almost 200 000 cases reported since 1950. The current diagnostic criteria for Alzheimer´s Disease states that all cognitive functions and thought processes are impaired at least two weeks before death with deficits, such as memory impairment (perceptual/symbolic), attention span problems including learning difficulties, impulsiveness, etc., especially when individuals may be prone to stressors which could include anxiety, depression. Alzheimer's disease is considered a neurodegenerative disease meaning it causes the degeneration or loss of neurons in the brain particularly in the cortex. It affects around 5% of people and costs $3bn each year. Cognit
