Abstract:

Defines Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and discusses the aging brain, dementia and diagnosing AD. Lists risk factors and describes the 3 main stages of Alzheimer's Disease. Provides key management techniques for both the patients and their families and caregivers. Illustrates and discusses the areas of the brain affected by the disease, amyloid plaques (also called senile plaques) and physical changes to the cerebral cortex. Shows and describes the abnormal cellular structures involved (granulovacuolar degeneration and neurofibrillary tangles) and how AD destroys how neuron "talk" to each other.
