Abstract

Alzheimer disease is due to increased amyloid-β coupled with low progranulin. Several brain imaging techniques are helpful in the diagnosis. Drugs available for treating Alzheimer disease have limited clinical utility. Cognitive stimulation therapy is an effective therapy for persons with moderate Alzheimer disease.
