Yes, individuals with Alzheimer's disease experience the death of brain neurons, which contributes to the progressive decline in cognitive function. This neuronal loss is often associated with the accumulation of abnormal protein deposits, such as amyloid plaques and tau tangles, which disrupt communication between neurons. As more neurons die, it leads to memory loss, difficulties in thinking and reasoning, and changes in behavior. Overall, the degeneration of brain cells is a key factor in the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
What else can I help you with?
Is grey matter a disease of the brain that would cause alzheimers?
Gray matter is a normal part of the brain, not a disease.
What disease causes neurons in the brain to die?
Alzheimer's disease
What is neuron disease?
Neurons are cells in the brain. Motor is defined as movement. So the impairment of motor skills is what motor neuron disease is. It is a disease people are born with.

What brain diseases happen to older people?
alzheimers, parkinsons, huntingtons
What is the disease that destroys the motor neurons in the brain or spinal cord?
Poliomyelitis
Does Parkinson's disease affect the brain stem?
No, parkinson's affects the dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra, which is part of the mid-brain.
Is grey matter a disease of the brain like alzheimers?
No, grey matter is not a disease. Grey matter refers to the part of the brain and spinal cord where nerve cell bodies are located. Alzheimer's disease, on the other hand, is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects memory and cognition.
How does alzheimers affect the nervous system?
it defects the brain so you cant function the same
What kind of cells are in the brain?
Neurons are brain cells
What is LAS disease?
ALS, often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death.
What is Alzhenhiemer's disease?
Alzheimers is a form dementia which is a degeneration of the brain. We really do not know what causes it but family history and lifestyle, such as activity and diet, may be factors.
