The Impact of Alzheimer's Disease on the Brain
Alzheimer's disease has a significant impact on the brain, causing progressive damage to brain cells and cognitive function. As the disease advances, it leads to memory loss, confusion, and eventually the inability to perform daily tasks. It also affects the brain's communication, metabolism, and repair mechanisms, ultimately shrinking the brain's size. Researchers are still working to uncover the exact cause and find effective treatments for this devastating condition. For those affected and their loved ones, it's a heartbreaking journey that I hope will see medical breakthroughs in the near future.
