Class Speech - Alzheimers Disease

            "Take a man's memories and you take all of him. Destroy him and he wouldn't remember.
             Memories are a "souvenir" to everything we do; acting as an activating button that helps us remember visual images such as the faces of family members and friends and basic kinds of information such as walking and swimming, which could last a lifetime. Much of what is stored in our memory was stored there without much effort on our part. Sometimes it takes only a visual image, a sound or an odor to bring back or retrieve memory. Can our memories be taken away? Yes, perhaps. Our brains are just functioning to a certain protocol and once the path of work is being interrupted, its systematic flow will create a disoriented cycle. There are a lot of factors that create a flaw in our memory. Our lifestyle determines our physical body's outcome. As we grow old, memory deteriorates and in normal cases, it is part of human development. Almost everyone will experience occasions of memory loss and decline in intellectual ability. A certain condition that everyone should be afraid of is Dementia. This is a serious loss of cognitive functioning of elder people covers 30% of the senior population across the globe. One of the severe and most common causes of dementia is the Alzheimer's disease. .
             Alois Alzheimer, a German physicist discovered that the disease is a chronic disintegration of the brain neurons. Alzheimers like any other kinds of dementia is connected with aging but not a normal part of the aging process. The onset of Alzheimers is gradual and devours people's mental processes slowly. The causes of Alzheimers disease are biological, hereditary and physical and emotional injury. As it is explained in biology, the cells in the hippocampus deteriorate and slow down the production of Acetycholine. Acetycholine is an agent that is responsible in carrying the neurotransmitter which plays a vital role in memory retrieval.
