Due <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">to our ageing population, the incidence of dementia is estimated to rise above 1.1 <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">million by 2050. Every five years after the age of 65, the likelihood of living with <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">dementia doubles and the disease affects one in four people aged 85 and over.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">There are two types of Alzheimer\u2019s disease, sporadic and familial (hereditary). In the sporadic form, the disease is usually diagnosed after the age of 65 and is by far the most common form. In the less common familial form, the disease runs in families and usually affects people in their 40s or 50s.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Anatomy of the brain<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Brain is full of cells called neurons.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Each neurone has a body which contains the genetic blueprint that directs and regulates the cell\u2019s activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Dendrites are the branches of the brain cells which collect information from other neurons.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Axon the 3rd part of the neurone is a cable which transmits messages to other neurones.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">In Alzheimer\u2019s disease many neurones stop functioning, lose connections with other neurones, and die.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">When neurones and their connections are destroyed, it involves memory, including hippocampus. Hippocampus lies below the temporal lobes of the brain.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Later it affects areas in the cerebral cortex responsible for language, reasoning and social behaviour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Over time, a person with Alzheimer\u2019s gradually loses his or her ability to live and function independently. Ultimately, the disease is fatal.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Let\u2019s talk about Amyloid plaques.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Beta- amyloid protein involved in Alzheimer\u2019s comes in several different molecular forms that collect between neurons.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">In the Alzheimer\u2019s brain, abnormal levels of this naturally occurring protein clump together to form plaques that collect between neurons and disrupt cell function.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Let\u2019s talk about the Neurofibrillary Tangles <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Neurofibrillary tangles are abnormal accumulations of a protein called tau that collect inside neurons. This is a protein an important component of nerve cell, helping to maintain their function and structure: in the brain, distortions in the protein\u2019s molecular shape is associated with the onset of Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Healthy neurons, in part, are supported internally by structures called microtubules, which help guide nutrients and molecules from the cell body to the axon and dendrites. In healthy neurons, tau normally binds to and stabilizes microtubules. In Alzheimer\u2019s disease, however, abnormal chemical changes cause tau to detach from microtubules and stick to other tau molecules, forming threads that eventually join to form tangles inside neurons. These tangles block the neuron\u2019s transport system, which harms the synaptic communication between neurons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">It appears that abnormal tau collects in certain regions of the brain that are involved in memory.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">So, the Beta-amyloid clumps into plaques between neurons and the tau seems to spread throughout the brain.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Chronic inflammation<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">There are scavenging cells called glial cells in the brain to help keep the brain free of debris. One type of glial cells is called microglia and another called Astrocytes. They destroy waste and toxins in a healthy brain.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">In Alzheimer\u2019s disease these cells fail to clear away the waste, debris and protein collections, including beta-amyloid plaque.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">There is a gene called TREM2. Normally, TREM2 tells the microglia cells and astrocytes, to clear beta-amyloid plaques from the brain and helps fight inflammation in the brain.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">In the brains of people where this gene does not function normally, plaques build up between neurons.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Summarising:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">There is an abnormal build-up of a protein called beta amyloid which forms plaques outside the brain cells and disrupts its functions.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Tau is an important protein component of nerve cell, helping to maintain their function and structure: in the brain, distortions in the protein\u2019s molecular shape is associated with the onset of Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">These microglia and astrocytes collect around the neurons but fail to perform their debris-clearing function.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">In all these situations the brain cells seem to dysfunction and die.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">That is the story of Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">So far, we know how Alzheimer\u2019s disease builds up, but no solutions have been found to arrest the damage to the brain cells.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">People who live a healthy lifestyle, especially from mid-life onwards, are less likely to develop Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">This includes doing regular physical exercise and keeping to a healthy weight, not smoking, eating a healthy balanced diet and drinking alcohol within the limits recommended by your doctor.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Keeping physically, mentally and socially active will help to reduce the risk of developing dementia.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Alzheimer\u2019s disease by Harold Gunatillake Manuscript Alzheimer\u2019s disease is a degenerative disease of the brain described as early as 1906 by Dr. Alois Alzheimer.
