Question: Did they give John Lithgow's character Alzheimer's disease in remembrance of Charlton Heston?
Chosen answer: No they most certainly did not. That wouldn't remotely be considered a particularly respectful homage! They picked Alzheimers because it's specifically a brain condition, which can then be explored in the movie as a plausible way of explaining the intelligence raising properties of the drug used.
