About the disease
Alzheimer’s is a irreversible disease, and soon it will destroy the memory and thinking skills, and even eventually the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. It's now ranked number 6th in the United States.
What happens in the brain
The damage take place in the hippocampus, which is the part of the brain that forms memory's. Also brain cells lose their ability to form new connections with other cells, that makes it hard for people with Alzheimer's to learn new information. Soon then the nerve cells will begin to die causing the brains ability to understand the world harder.
