Early-onset AD shows the loss of short-term memory, an incapability of learning new things and forgetting names and addresses. Pharmacological treatment mechanisms of AD include three classifications of drugs: those based on disease-modifying therapies like vitamin E; those based on the rectification of neurotransmitters like cholinesterase inhibitors; and psychotherapy to manage symptoms. The neocortex and hippocampus regions of the brain are associated with cognitive functions and are mostly affected by the pathology of AD. The medicinal plants highlight their effectiveness in treating Alzheimer's or memory-related disorders. Ayurvedic literature describes the nervous system and its disorders.
