Alzheimer`s Disease/Websites

Question
Hi I'm an RN to BSN student taking a pathophysiology course.  
I'm doing the history and disease mechanism for Alzheimer's
disease.  Just wondering if there was a favorite website you can
recommend.  I've been searching for hours, there's so much info
out there.  Much of the hypothesis/theory are just too technical-
we have to present our disease to the class-10 minute overview
style, most up to date information.  Thanks for any help--If you
are in NJ, you could do a presentation for us...only kidding!  
Thanks again, Marianne

Answer
Hi Marianne, I am actually in VA.  grew up in NY tho. so have been through NJ many times.  And I am always happy to share my knowledge!!

As far as information on what is new and old my best suggestion to you is to visit the Alzheimer's Association!  They have everything.  The web site for them is www. alz.org.  

Try that first you may find more than you need!  Good luck. Paula
