Answer:
A progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions.
Brain cell connections and the cells themselves degenerate and die, eventually destroying memory and other important mental functions.
Estimates vary, but experts suggest that more than 6 million Americans age 65 and older may have Alzheimer's. Many more under age 65 also have the disease. Unless Alzheimer's can be effectively treated or prevented, the number of people with it will increase significantly if current population trends continue.
The damaged areas of the brain include the hippocampus, which is an area of the brain that helps new memories form.
