Preferred term

Alzheimer's disease  

Definition

  • A degenerative disease of the brain with the presence of senile plaques and neurofibrillary degeneration. Brain atrophy begins in the hippocampal region, extends to associative regions and then to frontal regions. Memory problems are the first signs of the disease. Several aspects of memory are affected by Alzheimer's disease: episodic memory (which can disrupt people's sense of identity), semantic memory, working memory (including the central administrator). Procedural memory is more resistant to the disease, and perceptual priming is preserved.
