Difference between Alzheimer's disease and Neurotoxin

Alzheimer's disease vs. Neurotoxin

Alzheimer's disease (AD), also referred to simply as Alzheimer's, is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and worsens over time. Neurotoxins are toxins that are poisonous or destructive to nerve tissue (causing neurotoxicity).

Similarities between Alzheimer's disease and Neurotoxin

Alzheimer's disease and Neurotoxin have 37 things in common (in Unionpedia): Acetylcholine, Amino acid, Apoptosis, Axon, Blood–brain barrier, Brain, Calcium, Cell (biology), Central nervous system, Cerebrospinal fluid, Cholesterol, Cholinergic, Cytoskeleton, Dementia, Development of the nervous system, Excitotoxicity, Glutamic acid, Homeostasis, Inflammation, Ion, Memory, Mitochondrion, Muscle, Nausea, Nervous system, Neurology, Neuron, Neurotransmitter, NMDA receptor, Oxidative stress, ..., Parkinson's disease, Pathology, Physician, Receptor (biochemistry), Stroke, Synapse, Vomiting.

Acetylcholine

Acetylcholine (ACh) is an organic chemical that functions in the brain and body of many types of animals, including humans, as a neurotransmitter—a chemical message released by nerve cells to send signals to other cells.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis (from Ancient Greek ἀπόπτωσις "falling off") is a process of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms.

Axon

An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis) or nerve fiber, is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials, away from the nerve cell body.
