Amnesia, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, disrupts memory formation and recall. In Alzheimer’s, amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles impair neural communication, leading to progressive memory loss. Early stages manifest as short-term memory deficits, with individuals forgetting recent conversations or events. As the disease advances, long-term memories erode, and sufferers may not recognize loved ones or recall significant life events. Dementia-related amnesia encompasses various types, including retrograde amnesia, where past memories fade, and anterograde amnesia, which hinders new memory creation. Unlike typical age-related memory lapses, amnesia in Alzheimer’s and dementia significantly impairs daily functioning and quality of life, highlighting the need for early intervention and supportive care.
