Causes of Alzheimer's Disease are believed to be multiple. 10-15% of cases are due to genetic factors, it is estimated. Environmental causes have been postulated. Lack of regular use of one's cognitive abilities is also contributory. And viral etiologies, as well as other causes have been theorized, as well.
Pathophysiolgic causes include the inadequate synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Also, a relative of the beta amyloid protein is not produced correctly. Other brain changes are noted to occur, also.
