As a cognitive neuroscientist with a focus on neurodegenerative disorders, I can provide a comprehensive overview of Alzheimer's.
Alzheimer's is a disease, specifically a type of dementia. Dementia is a broader term that encompasses a group of symptoms associated with a decline in cognitive function severe enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, accounting for 60-80% of all cases.

Causes and risk factors. Like all types of dementia, Alzheimer's is caused by brain cell death. It is a neurodegenerative disease, which means there is progressive brain cell death that happens over time. In a person with Alzheimer's, the tissue has fewer and fewer nerve cells and connections.Feb 13, 2018
