|
Alzheimer's disease or senile dementia of Alzheimer's type is a neurodegenerative disease which results in a loss of mental functions due to the deterioration of brain tissue. Its exact etiology (cause) is still unknown, but environmental as well as genetic factors are thought to contribute (mutations in at least four genes predisposing to Alzheimer's disease have been identified).
Until the 1960s, the disease was thought to be uncommon, but later it was realized that much of what had been regarded as the normal process of aging was actually the result of this disease.
