On November 3, 1906, German physician Dr Alois Alzheimer presented A peculiar disease process of the cerebral cortex to the 37th Meeting of South-West German Psychiatrists in Tubingen, which would later become known as the Alzheimer’s disease, one of the most important diseases in the twentieth century ( The discovery of Alzheimer’s disease , 2003). In this presentation, he described the case of a 51-year-old woman, Auguste Deter, who developed progressive dementia, and had begun to develop psychiatric symptoms in memory loss, accompanied by hallucinations and delusions (Ballenger, 2006).
