Alzheimer's disease (AD) refers to a type of neurologic condition, which causes the brain to shrink and brain cells to die over time. AD is the most frequent form of dementia in which a progressive loss in social, cognitive and behavioral abilities occurs that impairs a person's capacity to operate independently.
