Essays on Alzheimer'S Disease

Memory is an essential part of everyone’s daily trivial activities in life. As you wake up, you remember and learn to get up to do the daily routine, such as brush your teeth, shower, get dressed, make on-the-go breakfast, and then commute to work or…

Background Aging is the process of gradual disruption and loss of important functions of the body or its parts, in particular, the ability to reproduce and regenerate (Yun, 2015). As a result of aging, the body becomes less adapted to environmental conditions, reduces and loses…

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an irreparable brain disease that impairs cognitive abilities and memory functions while the aggregate mind shrinks which inevitably leads to the patient’s demise. Early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease offers more opportunities for the patient in benefiting from the available treatments and…

Introduction: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a prevalent form of dementia characterized by degenerating physiological and neurological function. A common trait of AD is the accumulation of extracellular β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques, associated with increased tau protein phosphorylation, which creates neurofibrillary tangles that disrupt neuronal nutrient supply….

In this work, we tackle the problem of early detection of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). By 2050, the number of people aged over 60 years will be raised by 1. 25 billion, constituting 22% of the global population, with 79% living in the world’s less developed….

Impairments in experience-dependent scaling and stability of hippocampal place fields limit spatial learning in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease Introduction Summary and Critique Alzheimer’s disease(AD) affects spatial navigation causing problems with recalling surroundings. This impairment increases as AD progresses eventually affecting place cells and…

The GTP-binding family of proteins, septin, are a very diverse and complex group. Although septins were originally found in yeast, they have now been determined to play important roles in eukaryotic cells among animals and fungi. Within humans, septins function in multiple processes including cytokinesis,…
