Some say I know that Alzheimer’s affects the brain but how? Does it differ in men and women? Each time an individual is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, their brain begins to shrink. A healthy brain is a pink color, but when someone develops Alzheimer’s their brain turns a blackish gray color. However, color is not the only thing that happens to the brain when diagnosed.
There are many parts of the brain and many of those parts are affected. Some examples of those are the cortex, plaques, nerves, ventricles, and hippocampus, to name a few. First, I will elaborate a little bit on the cortex. The cortex is the largest part of the brain, and it controls more important things. This is where thinking, planning, and remembering takes places.
