Alzheimer’s disease is an extremely devastating neurodegenerative disorder that is the number one cause of dementia in patients over the age of 65. Most research on Alzheimer’s disease has focused on treating the later stage symptoms of the illness. Using antibody treatments, scientists have been even able to almost eliminate the aggregates of proteins that tend to form in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. However, this has not been able to halt the progression of the disease. This study aims to explore a promising new avenue of viewing the causation of Alzheimer’s disease that can potentially be applied towards diagnosing this illness during its early stages and conquering it once and for all. I created this video as a summary of my research for the Google Science Fair. If you thought that this concept was interesting, please comment or vote for my project. Thanks!

There is substantial evidence that an active mind helps increase the survival of neurons in the brain that are at risk of Alzheimer’s Disease. Chemicals in the brain called trophic factors, released during activity, may be at the heart of this saving effect.

Alzheimers disease (AD) is a critical health care problem that has considerable social and economic impact on society. Effective treatments have been elusive. One major causal factor for the disease is believed to be the deposition of amyloid fibrils in the brain, which ultimately leads to neurodegeneration and cognitive dysfunction. Based on the amyloid hypothesis of Alzheimers disease, many therapies presently target the amyloid beta (A?) peptide, the monomeric protein fragment that assembles to form fibrils. This video article takes the form of a debate between Dr. Morgan and Dr. Landreth on the merits and drawbacks of an Alzheimers disease vaccine.

Laureate Professor Colin L Masters MD gives this lecture entitled ‘Translating the test of the Abeta-amyloid theory of Alzheimer’s disease into practice’ at The Australian National University on 17 August 2010. This video formed part of the John Curtin School of Medical Research Symposium in New Perspectives in Clinical Neuroscience and Mental Health. Professor Colin Masters B Med Sci (Hons), MBBS, MD, FRCPath, FRCPA, FAA is a world leader in research into Alzheimer’s disease and viral infections of the brain. Professor Masters has held many senior scientific positions and is the Director of the Mental Health Research Institute of Victoria, and a Professor of Pathology at the University of Melbourne. He is also a consultant in pathology at the Royal Melbourne Hospital and a scientific advisor to Neuroscience Australia. Professor Masters was the recipient of a 2002 Citation Laureate Award for his contribution to research. He also was awarded Australia’s Mayne Florey Medal in 2002 and the King Faisal Award in 1997.

Lary Walker, PhD, gives a quick overview of what research has shown about brains of people with Alzheimer’s Disease, which was first discovered about 100 years ago by Alois Alzheimer. Walker is a research professor of Neuroscience, Yerkes National Primate Research Center, Emory University.

Senile dementia is not a direct consequence of aging. Alzheimer’s Disease is more prevalent in the elderly, but the healthy aging brain and mind can be as vital as it was decades before.
