You’re probably aware of what Alzheimer’s Disease is, but how does it change the brain, exactly?
Alzheimer’s slowly damages the connections that help us think and remember. Then, plaque builds up and cells tangle, affecting memory centers first and then spreading to impaired thinking, behavior and bodily functions later.
So, if your loved one is dealing with this disease, this is why you may notice memory loss first, then she changes in everyday behavior over time. Take a closer look at how Alzheimer’s affects the brain here: https://www.alz.org/alzheimers-dementia/what-is-alzheimers/brain-tour-part-2
