الشيخوخة ومرض الزهايمر من وجهة نظر نفسية-عصبية

الملخص EN

This article is about neuropsychological specificity of both aging and alZheimer disease.

there is a misunderstanding between normal manifestations of getting old (lack of concentration and memory disorder) and neurodegenerative diseases like alZheimer, which has a gradual development and starts by changes in the brain’s structure and in neurons before the first Syptomps occur, and which will be more complex in knowledge, behavor, and psychic.

we have to show that there are some similarities in the anatomical and functional changes in the neurological system; however we cannot identify if it is healthy or sick until an accurate diagnosis is done.

in addition to that, the brain has an ability to repair itself, this happens through neuroplasticity which creates new neural connections that transmit nerve impulses and guarantee the normal functions.

therefore, having a healthy lifestyle from the beginning keeps the brain safe.
