Teepa Snow demonstrates the difference between normal forgetfulness and Alzheimer’s
www.alzheimers.org.uk This film looks at vascular dementia, the second most common form of dementia, and the connection between a healthy blood supply and dementia. TRANSCRIPT “Vascular dementia is the second most common type of dementia, although it can also occur in combination with Alzheimer’s disease, in a condition called mixed dementia. Vascular dementia is associated with problems in the blood supply to the brain. Interruption of the blood supply, for example by a blockage or a leak, can cause a stroke. A stroke can cause significant damage to the area of the brain that was starved of its blood supply. Sometimes a single stroke is enough to cause symptoms of dementia. In other cases, a person may experience a series of smaller strokes that gradually cause more damage. Vascular dementia can also be caused by small vessel disease which is due to damage to the tiny blood vessels deep in the brain. Since vascular dementia is closely linked to a healthy blood supply, scientists think that lifestyle factors such as regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight could help to reduce the risk of this form of dementia.” Please watch our other videos to see how brain cells function, hear what dementia is, and to hear more about Alzheimer’s disease, Posterior Cortical Atrophy, vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, fronto-temporal dementia and other rarer causes of dementia.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an irreversible, progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory and other thinking skills, and eventually even the ability to carry out the simplest tasks.

www.alzheimers.org.uk This film gives a overview of the structure and function of the brain. TRANSCRIPT “The human brain is incredibly complex. It controls everything our body does, from coordinating our movements and our speech, to keeping our heart beating, to storing our memories. Despite all this there is still a lot we don’t know and much of the brain’s inner workings are still a mystery. The average human brain weighs around 1.5 kg. It is fed by a network of blood vessels that provide the brain cells with oxygen and nutrients. The brain can be divided into four main sections – the cerebral cortex, which is split into two symmetrical cerebral hemispheres, the limbic system, the cerebellum and the brain stem. The bulk of the brain is the symmetrical cerebral cortex. Each cerebral hemisphere is separated into four main lobes, which have different functions. The frontal lobe is responsible for decision-making, problem solving and planning. The parietal lobe receives and processes all the sensory information from the body. The temporal lobe is responsible for memory, emotion, hearing and language. The occipital lobe controls vision. At the centre of the brain is the limbic system. This area controls a number of functions, but importantly controls learning and memory, particularly in the hippocampus. The cerebellum or little brain, controls movement, posture and balance. The brain stem, which is thought to be the oldest part of the brain, controls basic life functions …
Everywhere you turn you see something related to Cancer and HIV. Our government contributes 18.7 percent of the NIH research budget to cancer, 9.9% to HIV, and just 1.4% to Alzheimer’s. Why so little for Alzheimer’s? There are many more people living with Alzheimer’s than HIV, yet it receives much less funding. More funding is desperately needed. Why is the there such a disparity when it comes to this disease? I almost think that this is discrimination towards Alzheimer’s patients and you just do not care.

Engineering Students: Ryan Ballard (leader), James Osborn, Sheena Sanchez, David Santangelo [all ChE majors] Faculty Advisor: Professor Sachin P. Patil (ChE) Alzheimer’s disease is one of the biggest public health challenges, with nearly 5.4 million suffering from this devastating disease and costing over 3 billion/year currently in the United States. At present there is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, and available treatments have short-lived effects in mediating just the symptoms of the disease. Therefore, the major aim of the proposed project is to test our novel Alzheimer’s hypothesis relating abnormal metabolic and protein changes, which in turn may lead to the discovery of novel therapeutic molecules, with the potential to have lasting, “disease-modifying” effects against this dreadful disease.
ts hard enough to imagine losing your memory in your eighties or nineties. But Imagine losing it at fifty. Then imagine you could pass that risk on to your kids. Sisters Nikole and Kersten. A dad who loves them, and a mom who may or may not know who they are. A just fifty, Kay Anderson developed what’s called early-onset familial Alzheimer’s. Mark is Kay’s husband. He and the girls visit their mom at Lakeview Ranch. A care facility in Dassel/Darwin Minnesota the family calls a Godsend.
