Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, accounting for 50-60% of all cases. It is a progressive neurological condition characterised by the build-up of proteins known as plaques in the brain. These plaques gradually damage and destroy the nerve cells making it more and more difficult to remember, reason, understand and express ideas. There is currently no known cause and no cure for the condition.
