Alzheimers brain
Alzheimers brain. Computer processed vertical (coronal) slice through the brain of an Alzheimer patient (at left) compared with a normal brain (at right). The Alzheimers disease brain (brown) is considerably shrunken, due to the degeneration and death of nerve cells. Apart from a decrease in brain volume, the surface of the brain is often more deeply folded. Tangled protein filaments (neurofibrillary tangles) occur within nerve cells and patients also develop brain lesions of beta-amyloid protein. Alzheimers disease accounts for most cases of senile dementia. Symptoms include memory loss, disorientation, personality change and delusion. It ultimately leads to death

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print showcases the stark contrast between a normal brain and an Alzheimer's disease brain. The image, captured through computer processing, presents a vertical slice of the brain from an Alzheimer patient on the left side, juxtaposed with a healthy brain on the right. The devastating impact of Alzheimer's disease is evident in this photograph. The brown-colored Alzheimer's brain appears considerably shrunken due to the degeneration and death of nerve cells. Not only does it exhibit a decrease in volume, but its surface is also more deeply folded compared to its healthy counterpart. Within the nerve cells of this afflicted brain, tangled protein filaments known as neurofibrillary tangles are present. Additionally, beta-amyloid protein lesions can be observed within this diseased organ. These pathological features contribute to the symptoms experienced by individuals with Alzheimer's disease: memory loss, disorientation, personality changes, and delusions. Alzheimer's disease remains one of the leading causes of senile dementia among elderly individuals. Its debilitating effects ultimately lead to death for those affected by it. This print serves as a poignant reminder of both the fragility and complexity of our brains when faced with neurological disorders like Alzheimer's disease. It highlights not only the importance of medical research and understanding but also emphasizes how crucial quality healthcare is for those suffering from such conditions.
