Alzheimer’s is a degenerative disease that mostly affects those who are nearing their old age or are in their twilight years. Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia and is also known as ‘senile dementia of Alzheimer’s type’.

Alzheimer’s is a cognitive degenerative disease that affects people as they reach their old age. It is named after German Physician Alois Alzheimer, who first discovered it in 1906. Alzheimer’s is a progressive brain disease that affects one’s brain and gradually decreases the ability to think, remember, recognize, recount etc. It usually affects adults above the age of 65 years of age and is caused due to the yet unexplained developments of plaques that build up between nerve cells present in the brain and also due to the tangles which are found to form within dying nerve cells, on the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, which deal with learning and processing.
