cortex, considered the association cortex, is known to connect all the other neocortical regions of the brain. The affects of alcoholism cause brain damage, cortical atrophy, also known as dementia. Alcoholics suffer from impaired function of the cerebral tissue in the medial frontal region. (Frontal Lobe Changes in Alcoholism: A Review in Literature, 2001). Injuries to this part of the brain include:

the Alzheimer's brain. There was a loss of nerve cells from the Cerebral Cortex in the Alzheimer's victim. Approximately ten percent of the neurons in this region were lost. But a ten percent loss is relatively minor, and cannot account for the severe impairment suffered by Alzheimer's victims. Neurofibrillary Tangles are also found in the brains of Alzheimer's victims. They are found within the cell bodies of nerve cells in the cerebral cortex, and take on the structure of a paired helix. Other diseases
