Diagnosis
In a healthy brain, the Beta amyloid protein is cut up by the amyloid precursor protein
and then eliminated
Also, in an Alzheimers Brain, the ventricles are enlarged causing a shrunken brain
size.
The smaller size affects the hippocampus, sulcus, gyrus, and even areas of language
understanding.
Prognosis
Tests (such as blood tests and brain imaging) to rule out other causes of
dementia-like symptoms
