Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, affecting an estimated 6.5 million Americans. It is a progressive disease that leads to memory loss, cognitive decline, and eventually death. Alzheimer's disease is caused by the accumulation of amyloid plaques and tau tangles in the brain. These plaques and tangles disrupt communication between neurons, leading to the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
