A PET scan of the brain of an individual with Alzheimer's disease reveals a loss of function in the temporal lobe.

WebMd reported in 2005, "Religious practices and spirituality may slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease."[1]

Alzheimer's disease is "characterised by loss of neurons and synapses in the cerebral cortex and certain subcortical regions. This loss results in gross atrophy of the affected regions, including degeneration in the temporal lobe and parietal lobe, and parts of the frontal cortex and cingulate gyrus.[2] Some of the primary symptoms of alzheimer's disease are: memory problems, mood swings, emotional outbursts, brain stem damage which impairs function in the heart, lungs plus causes disruption of various other bodily processes.[3]
