The brain is the most complex organ of the human
body. It controls functions that affect all aspects of our daily lives –
activities like speaking, moving, making decisions, and having emotional
responses. The brain also controls functions we're not conscious of – such as
digestion, breathing, and circulation.
When a person is suffering from Alzheimer's disease,
abnormal changes are taking place in the brain. The cause of Alzheimer's disease
begins with nerve cells, responsible for learning and memory functions, which
begin to become damaged and eventually die. As a result, certain aspects of
brain functioning that control memory, behavior, personality, and other bodily
functions, can be lost.
As these changes occur, a person with Alzheimer's
disease will advance through the stages of Alzheimer's disease, suffering from
the various symptoms associated with them. It's important to understand the
stages and symptoms of Alzheimer's disease to ensure appropriate treatment.
