Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease and a common cause of dementia among the elderly. In 1906, Dr. Alois Alzheimer noticed abnormal clumps and tangled fiber bundles in the brain tissue of a woman who died from an unusual mental illness. She had symptoms of memory loss, language problems, and unpredictable behavior. AD is named after Dr. Alzheimer for his research on this condition.
