Alzheimer’s disease is slow-fatal disease of the brain, affecting 1 in ten people at the age of 65. No one is immune. The disease comes on gradually as two abnormal protein fragments called plaques and tangles accumulates in the brain and kill brain cells. They start in the hippocampus. Where memory where first formed .over many years time plaques and tangles slowly destroy the hippocampus and it becomes harder and harder to form new memories. Simple recollection from a few hours or days ago but the rest might take for granted or are not just there. After that more plaques and tangles spreads into different regions of the brain. Killing cells and compromising where ever they go. It’s spreading around is what causes the different stages of Alzheimer’s.

from the hippocampus, the disease spreads here to the region of the brain where language is processed. When that happens, it gets tougher and tougher to find the right word.

Next the disease reach towards the front of the brain where logical thought takes place. Very gradually the patient will lose it’s ability to solve problems, grasp concepts, and make plans, next the plaques and tangles will invade the part of the brain where emotions are regulated, when this happens the patient will gradually loses his control over moods and feelings.
After that the disease moves where the brain makes sense of the things it sees, hears, and smells. In this stage, Alzheimer’s turns chaos in person’s senses and can spark hallucinations.
Eventually the plaques and tangles will erase the oldest and precious memories which is stored in the back of the brain. Near the end, the person’s compromises the balance and coordination and

the very last stage will destroys the part of the brain that regulates breathing and the heart. The progression from mild to death is slow and steady. These stages will takes over an average of 8 to 10 years. It is relentless and for now is incurable.

So, to make us more understand it. Let’s move to the other slide. What’s the cause of Alzhiermers?
Of course its not liam neeson, although it says there I will take it back. …. It’s Unknown! But according to Dr. Alzheirmer, the doctor who studied the brain of a person’s alzheimer’s disease. There are 2 main suspect that making this brain shrink. Plaques and tangles. Of course it’s not mr. bean. It’s 2 proteins. What beta amyloid do is to stick with the brain cells and when it stick to other cells it will stick also to other plaques. So, after that, here comes the Tau. A protein enzyme that cleans up the dead brain cells.
