How does Alzheimer’s affect the body?
Odd amounts of protein form plaques throughout the brain, and healthy neurons stop working and lose connection with other neurons. Eventually, all these neurons start to die off. It starts in the part of the brain essential for forming memories, the hippocampus. As more neurons start to die off, more parts of the brain start to get affected. By the final stage of Alzheimer’s, the damage would be spread throughout the brain leaving it’s tissues significantly shrunk.
