Alzheimer’s disease impairs a patient by destroying neurons, which otherwise live for decades, and by disrupting communication among the remaining brain cells. As neurons die, the areas of the brain they constitute begin to atrophy. A detailed picture of the progression is still under investigation, and the disease follows different tracks in different patients, but researchers have found brains afflicted with Alzheimer’s typically atrophy along the same basic pattern. A better understanding of that pattern may provide the foundation for methods to diagnose the disease earlier, which in turn would give medication and lifestyle changes the best chance of slowing dementia. In broad strokes, here’s how Alzheimer’s tends to change a brain.
