Question:

Alzheimer’s disease

Author: Alexandra Jessie Wilson



Answer:

The key clinical feature is impairment of the ability to remember information acquired in the past. (Later on: Gradual impairment of memory, short-term (more obvious) and long-term memory are both affected, as well as apraxia, visuo-spatial impairment and aphasia. It is common for patients to deny that there is anything wrong (anosognosia).)
