Abstract

This article provides a detailed description of the causes, main clinical symptoms and treatment methods of Alzheimer's disease. It is shown that the disease, as a neurodegenerative process, is associated with the accumulation of β-amyloid protein in the brain, disruption of connections between neurons and a decrease in the activity of the cholinergic system. Also, in the early stages of the disease, memory and thinking speed decline, decreased independence in daily activities and changes in personal behavior are noted as important symptoms. The article analyzes the role of currently used drugs (cholinesterase inhibitors, NMDA-receptor antagonists), a healthy lifestyle, diet and early diagnosis in slowing down the progression of the disease. In conclusion, although Alzheimer's disease is of great socio-medical importance, it is noted that scientific research aimed at controlling and alleviating its course is promising.
