3-Individuals with Down syndrome and learning difficulties face an elevated risk of early-onset dementia, with Alzheimer's being the leading cause in this group.
What factors contribute to Alzheimer’s Disease?
1-Alzheimer's Disease involves amyloid (plaques) and tau (tangles) in the brain.
2-Amyloid protein malfunctions, producing toxic beta-amyloid, leading to brain cell damage.
3-Tau protein, essential for cell communication, may become aberrant and cause cell death.
4-Decreased acetylcholine in the brain of Alzheimer's patients affects information transmission between neurons.
5-Specific reasons for these changes remain unclear.
