Photo Mug : Alzheimers disease brain tissue
Home Decor from Science Photo Library
Alzheimers disease brain tissue
Alzheimers disease brain tissue, light micrograph. Two characteristic features of Alzheimers disease are seen here; neurofibrillary tangles (dark teardrop shapes) and amyloid plaques (rounded brown agglomerations). Alzheimers disease is a degenerative disease of the brain, and is the most common cause of dementia. It causes progressive memory loss, impaired intellect, loss of co-ordination and an inexorable decline in the ability to perform daily tasks. The cause of the condition is not known and there is no cure, although some drugs can alleviate some of the symptoms

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of Alzheimer's disease brain tissue under a light microscope. The image reveals two distinct features that are characteristic of this degenerative disease: neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques. Neurofibrillary tangles, depicted as dark teardrop shapes, and rounded brown agglomerations known as amyloid plaques contribute to the progressive memory loss, impaired intellect, and loss of coordination associated with Alzheimer's disease. As the most common cause of dementia, Alzheimer's poses significant challenges for individuals affected by it and their loved ones. This devastating condition leads to an inexorable decline in daily functioning abilities, making even simple tasks increasingly difficult over time. Despite extensive research efforts, the exact cause remains unknown while a cure eludes medical science. However, there are medications available that can alleviate some symptoms experienced by patients. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder of the complex nature of Alzheimer's disease and its impact on the human body. It highlights the importance of ongoing research in neurology and healthcare to better understand this disorder affecting millions worldwide. By shedding light on these microscopic aspects through histopathology examination, scientists strive towards finding effective treatments or preventive measures for this distressing condition that affects aging populations globally.
