  2. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_amyloid_angiopathy

    CAA is associated with brain hemorrhages, particularly microhemorrhages.The accumulation of amyloid beta peptide deposits in the blood vessel walls results in damage of the blood vessels and hindrance of normal blood flow, making blood vessels more prone to bleeding [10] Since CAA can be caused by the same amyloid protein that is associated with Alzheimer's dementia, brain bleeds [11] are more ...

  3. Alzheimer's disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alzheimer's_disease

    Inflammation is a general marker of tissue damage in any disease, and may be either secondary to tissue damage in Alzheimer's disease or a marker of an immunological response. [117] There is increasing evidence of a strong interaction between the neurons and the immunological mechanisms in the brain.

  4. Posterior cortical atrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_cortical_atrophy

    Studies have shown that PCA may be a variant of Alzheimer's disease (AD), with an emphasis on visual deficits. [2] [11] Although in primarily different, but sometimes overlapping, brain regions, both involve progressive neural degeneration, as shown by the loss of neurons and synapses, and the presence of neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaques in affected brain regions; this eventually ...

  5. Amyloid plaques - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyloid_plaques

    The diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease typically requires a microscopic analysis of plaques and tangles in brain tissue, usually at autopsy. [40] However, Aβ plaques (along with cerebral Aβ-amyloid angiopathy ) can be detected in the brains of living subjects by preparing radiolabeled agents that bind selectively to Aβ deposits in the brain ...

  6. Ion channel hypothesis of Alzheimer's disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_channel_hypothesis_of...

    The ion channel hypothesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), also known as the channel hypothesis or the amyloid beta ion channel hypothesis, is a more recent variant of the amyloid hypothesis of AD, which identifies amyloid beta (Aβ) as the underlying cause of neurotoxicity seen in AD. [1]

  7. Frontotemporal dementia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontotemporal_dementia

    Frontotemporal dementia (FTD), also called frontotemporal degeneration disease [1] or frontotemporal neurocognitive disorder, [2] encompasses several types of dementia involving the progressive degeneration of the brain's frontal and temporal lobes. [3] Men and women appear to be equally affected. [1]

  8. Amyloid beta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyloid_beta

    Several genetic, cell biology, biochemical and animal studies using experimental models support the concept that Aβ plays a central role in the development of Alzheimer's disease pathology. [33] [34] Brain Aβ is elevated in people with sporadic Alzheimer's disease. Aβ is the main constituent of brain parenchymal and vascular amyloid; it ...

  9. List of neurological conditions and disorders - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_neurological...

    This is a list of major and frequently observed neurological disorders (e.g., Alzheimer's disease), symptoms (e.g., back pain), signs (e.g., aphasia) and syndromes (e.g., Aicardi syndrome). There is disagreement over the definitions and criteria used to delineate various disorders and whether some of these conditions should be classified as ...
