The treatment of Alzheimer's will be done with anticholinesterase drugs. The leaflet should indicate the stages of disease progression. The frontal lobe and temporal lobe are primarily responsible for cognitive functioning and are most affected by Alzheimer's.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Alzheimer's is a degenerative disease that affects the elderly.
  • The cause of the disease is still unknown, but it is believed that it is influenced by genetic factors.
  • This disease causes degeneration of the frontal and temporal lobes, impairing the individual's cognitive functioning.
  • The disease has four stages of development called pre-dementia, early stage, intermediate stage, and terminal stage.

Although there is no cure, Alzheimer's is treated with anticholinesterase drugs that try to delay symptoms and degeneration.
