ALZHERMERS SYNDROME in simple terms
In these diseases, neurons- the brain cells responsible for receiving, processing, and transmitting information- die and are not replaced.
The current scientific literature makes one thing plain. As yet, there is no unifying hypothesis for the causes of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, or many rarer degenerative brain diseases that cause dementia

Can neurons be replaced easily?
No, they can never be replaced. You are born with all the neurons you will ever have
Are the dead neurons in the cortex replaced by new neurons?
yes
In what ways are neurons similar to other cells?
Neurons vs. Other Cells Similarities with other cells:Neurons and other body cells both contain a nucleus that holds genetic information.Neurons and other body cells are surrounded by a membrane that protects the cell.The cell bodies of both cell types contain organelles that support the life of the cell, including mitochondria, Golgi bodies, and cytoplasm.Differences that make neurons unique:Unlike other body cells, neurons stop reproducing shortly after birth. Because of this, some parts of the brain have more neurons at birth than later in life because neurons die but are not replaced. While neurons do not reproduce, research has shown that new connections between neurons form throughout life.Neurons have a membrane that is designed to sends information to other cells. The axon and dendrites are specialized structures designed to transmit and receive information. The connections between cells are known as a synapses. Neurons release chemicals known as neurotransmitters into these synapses to communicate with other neurons.
What ability do neurons have that other cells don't?
Cells other than neurons undergo apoptosis and if neurons die they don't regenerate hencw their number reduces and even their injuries are difficult to treat and it can cause several neurological diseases unlike other cells .
What are neurons that carry information between sensory neurons and motor neurons?
Interneurons or association neurons.
Can neurons be replaced easily?
No, they can never be replaced. You are born with all the neurons you will ever have
Are the dead neurons in the cortex replaced by new neurons?
yes
Lost neurons cannot be replaced because mature neurons cannot?
undergo mitosis.
What is the rate that neurons die per day?
The average rate that neurons die per day are approximetly 1000 to 1350
Why does tau overexpression and deposits of amyloid beta protein inside and between neurons cause the neurons to die?

What will happen if hisher neurons failed to produced neurotransmitters?
he she will die!
What disease causes neurons in the brain to die?
Alzheimer's disease
Which of the following types of neurons are replaced throughout adult life?
olfactory receptor cells vanessa B&F uniben
What will happen to a person if his neurons fail to produce neurotransmitters?
The nervous system can't transmit messages without neurotransmitters. A person will die if his neurons fail to produce them.

What happen if you have not neurons?
You die if you don't have neurons, which are nerve cells. Neurons from the brain stem automatically tell your chest and/or diaphragm to move to bring in air/oxygen, that is, to breathe, which is necessary to sustain the body. You also could not think, because the brain is composed of neurons. Nor could you move, because neurons tell muscles to contract. Nor could you eat, because neurons cause peristalsis in the gut to move food through it.
What are neurons called that detect stimuli in the skin and eye?
sensory neurons
