Alzheimers Disease Learning Intentions 1 Define Alzheimers disease

Alzheimer’s Disease Learning Intentions: 1. Define Alzheimer’s disease in terms of a neurodegenerative disease 2. Describe the symptoms of Alzheimer’s in relation to memory 3. Explain and illustrate To start - when was the last time the differences between a healthy brain and a you forgot something important? brain with Alzheimer’s What did you forget? How did you with reference to brain feel about forgetting?

Alzheimer’s Disease Alzheimer’s disease is a type of dementia in which there is a gradual and widespread degeneration of brain neurons, causing progressive memory decline and other symptoms. Using your research skills, complete the table regarding a healthy brain and one with Alzheimer’s. You will need to know this information to be able to construct your own brains

Healthy Brain vs. Alzheimer’s Brain Using your knowledge of brain regions and Alzheimer’s disease, you are going to create your own brain models of a healthy brain and one with Alzheimer’s. Firstly, let’s critique these models

Healthy Brain vs. Alzheimer’s Brain Complete your Cornell notes for this activity and add them to your logbook. Don’t forget to add information about our critique of the model.
