A) Alzheimer disease
B) Wernicke encephalopathy
C) Central anticholinergic syndrome
D) Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) -related dementia

Apolipoprotein E

A protein involved in the metabolism of fats in the body, important in the development of Alzheimer's disease and cardiovascular disease.

Neuritic Plaques

Abnormal clusters of protein fragments and cellular material that form in the brains of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions.

Neurofibrillary Tangles

Abnormal accumulations of tau protein inside nerve cells, commonly associated with Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders.
