Alzheimer's

Alzheimer’s Disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects memory, thinking, and behavior. It is the most common cause of dementia, gradually impairing cognitive abilities and daily functioning.

This condition is closely linked to abnormal brain changes, including the buildup of amyloid plaques and tau tangles, as well as loss of communication between neurons. Research in Alzheimer’s integrates neuroscience, psychology, and clinical studies to understand its causes, risk factors, and potential treatments.

Key areas of focus in Alzheimer’s research include:

• Cognitive Decline and Memory Loss – Understanding the stages and progression of symptoms
• Neurobiological Mechanisms – Exploring amyloid and tau pathology, neuroinflammation, and brain atrophy
• Risk Factors – Genetic predispositions (e.g., APOE4), cardiovascular health, and life
• Treatment and Care Strategies – Medications, cognitive therapies, and supportive care interventions
• Prevention and Early Diagnosis – Advances in biomarkers, brain imaging, and risk-reduction approaches
