Your Definition
A disease affecting your Central Nervous System especially brain. It is caused by accumulated beta amyloid plaques and tau plaques that kill the neutrons. Thr disease causes progressive loss of cognitive functions, which means person is likely to have memory loss, disorientation, etc. and after some time (3-9 years) patient dies from loss of live functions, mostly from respiratory failure. There is currently no cure, however the fact of incurable disease attracts large number of scientists to work on it. Main ideas of possible cure are focused on stopping the progress of accumulating amyloid plaques, destroying them via immune system (proposed Alzheimer vaccine), etc.
