Can you explain some of the symptoms and causes of Alzheimer's disease?
user
Sure! Alzheimers is caused by the buildup of sticky things called plaques in the brain. In the earliest stage of the disease, people with Alzheimers lose some memory or trouble with remembering. They have difficulty learning new things. They may have trouble finding the right word or even trouble with simple arithmetic or other skills. Eventually the plaques build up and damage the brain, and the brain is unable to learn anything new.
