Browsing: Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is the most common cause of dementia, affecting memory, thinking, and behavior. It typically begins with mild memory loss and gradually worsens, eventually interfering with daily tasks and cognitive function. Characterized by the buildup of abnormal protein deposits—amyloid plaques and tau tangles—in the brain, Alzheimer’s is currently incurable, though research is rapidly evolving. Ongoing scientific studies are exploring its causes, early detection methods, genetic risk factors, and potential treatments, with the goal of better understanding and ultimately halting or reversing the disease.
