Alzheimer's Disease
Introduction
In 1907, Dr. Alois Alzheimer was the first researcher to link a mental illness in a 55-year-old woman in her last years of life with a pattern of changes that was found in her brain on autopsy after her death. Based on this finding, the mental illness is now known as Alzheimer's disease (AD).
