Neuronal changes in the Alzheimer's brain. In the early stage (a), there are amyloidal deposits surrounding neurons and formation of neurofibrillary tangles in the neuron. In the next stage (b), amyloidal deposits cause inflammation and damage due to oxidative stress in the brain. In the late stage (c), neurons degenerate in the process known as apoptosis and neurotransmitters dysfunction, resulting in dementia.
