Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is associated with the destruction of higher brain structures, such as those involved in memory and cognition. The disease leads to deficits in cognitive function and declines in memory, learning, language, and in the ability to perform intentional and purposeful movements. The disease is predicted to increase at least threefold between 2000 and 2050, rendering AD a world-wide public health problem.
