The following information is about Alzheimer's Disease.
Alzheimer's Disease Defined
This disease causes progressive memory loss and dementia in its victims as it kills brain cells (neurons). It is named after Alois Alzheimer who in 1906 first described the Amyloid ß Protein (AßP) plaques in the human brain that are caused by this disease. The drug Tacrine appears to slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease, but there is currently no way to stop the disease.
This definition is in context to Food and Health. See more contextual defintions for Alzheimer's Disease.
