Question

Alzheimer's disease also causes memory loss (McBride et al., 2019). "Alzheimer's disease occurs when neuron (i.e., brain cell) function is disrupted by plaques and tangles" (McBride et al., 2019). This causes deterioration of neuron communication and less cognitive functioning leading to dementia (McBride et al., 2019). Damage to the hippocampus which stores and retrieves memories causes amnesia and Alzheimer's disease also starts in the hippocampus (McBride et al., 2019).
