Alzheimer's disease and dementia are intricate neurological disorders affecting millions globally. Despite the elusive nature of their exact causes, ongoing research is enhancing our understanding of potential contributing factors. A significant factor associated with Alzheimer's disease is the accumulation of amyloid plaques and tau tangles in the brain, disrupting neural communication and leading to progressive cognitive decline. Additionally, genetic predispositions, environmental exposures, and lifestyle factors contribute to the development of Alzheimer's.
Dementia, a more encompassing term covering various cognitive impairments, includes Alzheimer's disease and other conditions affecting memory, thinking, and behavior. Common symptoms involve memory loss, language difficulties, problem-solving challenges, and alterations in personality and mood.
The upcoming conference is anticipated to assemble leading experts to explore the latest research on the causes, symptoms, and potential treatments for Alzheimer's disease and dementia. This scientific session aims to provide valuable insights into these challenging disorders and contribute to the ongoing efforts to identify effective interventions.
