Article Topic: Alzheimer’s Disease Author: Boshra Alajarma Editor: Yazan S. Al-Zamer Key Words: Alzheimer’s disease, AD, Dementia, Amyloid Beta, Tau, Neurodegenerative Diseases   Introduction: Neurodegenerative diseases are marked by the progressive loss of neurons, typically affecting a combination of neurons with functional interconnections. Multiple disorders tend to involve particular neural systems and therefore have relatively stereotypic presenting signs and symptoms [1]. Example of Neurodegenerative diseases: Alzheimer’s disease Spinocerebellar ataxia(SCA) Spinal muscular atrophy(SMA) Frontotemporal lobar degeneration Parkinson disease Huntington disease Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) Alzheimer’s disease A brain disorder that gives rise to issues with memory, thinking, and behavior. It causes […]
