Alzheimers Dement

December 2024

Washington University in St. Louis, Saint Louis, MO, USA.

Background: Alzheimer disease (AD) is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disorder that presents with cognitive dysfunction, memory loss, language difficulties, emotion dysregulation, and the eventual loss of motor function and death. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shows early atrophy in the medial temporal lobes, which then spreads to the posterior temporal lobe, parietal lobe, and finally the frontal lobe with relative sparing of the sensorimotor cortex. Social disadvantage has been shown to have potentially additive impacts on aging trajectories.
