The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating Alzheimer's disease, the composition comprising, as an active ingredient, neural crest-derived nasal turbinate stem cells (NTSCs) expressing SSEA3 and CD105. Treatment with the NTSCs expressing SSEA3 and CD105 or with an NTSC cell line including at least a predetermined proportion of the NTSCs was found to result in remarkably good therapeutic activity against Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, the present invention is expected to be effectively used not only as a composition for preventing or treating Alzheimer's disease in which the composition includes, as an active ingredient, NTSCs expressing SSEA3 and CD105 or an NTSC cell line including at least a predetermined proportion of the NTSCs, but also for uses such as screening of NTSC formulations that can be used to treat Alzheimer's disease, or prediction of the therapeutic efficacy thereof.
