Alzheimer's Screening Quiz
The Alzheimer's screening quiz provides a quick assessment of cognitive impairment and behavioral change relating to 10 of the most common signs and symptoms associated with Alzheimer's disease. The Alzheimer's screening quiz can be undertaken with someone in mind or as a self-assessment.

Weight Loss May Indicate Dementia
A study reported in the Archives of Neurology suggests weight loss may begin up to six years before a diagnosisof dementia.

Early Onset Alzheimer's
Early onset Alzheimer's is defined the development of the disease before the age of 65 years of age.

Visual Clues to Dementia Diagnosis
There are a number of strong visual clues that can indicate someone may be suffering from a dementia such as Alzheimer's disease. Appearance, dress, personal hygeine may deteriorate. Visual clues are important but provides only one aspect of human behavior and presentation that may lead to diagnosis.

Mini Mental State
The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) is the most commonly used to test for memory problems and contribute to a possible diagnosis of dementia.

Defining Dementia
A diagnosis of dementia cannot be made when consciousness is impaired or when other clinical abnormalities prevent other adequate evaluation of mental state.

What is Alzheimer's Disease?
It will claim the lives of 23,000 adults in the United States alone this year, making it the eighth most common cause of death in the elderly. This feature provides more essential facts about Alzheimer's.

Plaques tangles and genes
Very characteristic changes to the brain occur in people with Alzheimer's disease. One of the most obvious and possibly best known, is the development of so-called plaques and tangles. In this article I take a look at plaques, tangles and genetic research

Parietal Lobe Damage in Alzheimer's
The parietal lobes of the brain perform important functions. As Alzheimer's progresses so damage to the parietal lobes results in changes to behavior.
