Alzheimer's Neurodegenerative Disease

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), or simply known as Alzheimer’s is a long lasting neurodegenerative disease. A neurodegenerative disease affects many subconscious activities such as balance, talking, breathing, movement and heart functions. A neurodegenerative disease is a term for a disease that primarily changes the neurons in a human being’s brain. Neurons are called the “building blocks” of the nervous system. Most of the time neurons do not reproduce or replace each other, therefore if a neuron is damaged or if a neuron dies they don't get replaced by the body.
