How do people with Alzheimer’s not forget everything? For example, I have seen people with Alzheimer’s who do not remember loved ones and other stuff, but they still remember how to speak and how to move etc. What stops them from forgetting every single tiny little thing they know?
In: Biology
My eng not good but i’ll try explain it. Alzheimer’s occurs when proteins in the brain’s memory areas are produced incorrectly and accumulate in nerve cells. This build-up is happening slowly. Therefore, things forgotten happen slowly. First of all, while memory areas are affected, even the ability to swallow is lost in the later stages. I’m not sure if the answer you wanted is something like this. I hope it works.
