Alzheimer's Disease

Elizabeth K. Stanford, MD



Alzheimer's disease currently affects about 4 million people in the United States. This neurodegenerative disease causes selective neuronal loss in brain regions involved in memory, language, personality, and cognition. The earliest symptom of Alzheimer's disease is usually the insidious onset and progression of memory loss. Initially, this memory loss can be difficult to differentiate from common age-associated benign forgetfulness. However, patients with age-associated benign forgetfulness are aware of the deficit and their activities of daily living are minimally impaired.
