where did the word alzheimer's come from
Aloysius Alzheimer (also known as Alois Alzheimer; / ˈɑːltshaɪmər, ˈælts-, ˈɔːlts-/; German: (ˈaːlɔɪs ˈaltshaɪmɐ); 14 June 1864 -- 19 December 1915) was a German psychiatrist and neuropathologist and a colleague of Emil Kraepelin. Alzheimer is credited with identifying the first published case of "presenile dementia", which Kraepelin would later identify as Alzheimer's disease.
