📚A normal brain is shown on the left (A) and a brain with cortical atrophy caused by Alzheimer’s disease is shown on the right (B). Notice how the grooves or furrows in the affected brain, called sulci, are noticeably widened and there is shrinkage of the gyri, the well-developed folds of the brain’s outer layer.

🔎Alzheimer’s is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Symptoms usually develop slowly and get worse over time, becoming so advanced and severe to interfere with daily activities.

🧠Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of aging, although the greatest known risk factor is increasing age, and the majority of people with Alzheimer’s are 65 and older. But, Alzheimer’s is not just a disease of old age. Up to 5 percent of people with the disease have early onset Alzheimer’s (also known as younger-onset), which often appears when someone is in their 40s or 50s.

💊Although current medications cannot cure Alzheimer’s or stop it from progressing, they may help temporarily lessen the symptoms, such as memory loss and confusion.
