Our understanding of Alzheimer's ordsprog

Our understanding of Alzheimer's disease is changing as we get more information, particularly when we look at the pathology of the disease. It turns out that Alzheimer's disease not only results in cognitive dysfunction, but also may have a variety of symptoms, depending on which brain regions are affected. If the disease pathology affects a region of the brain that controls weight, your body mass may decline prior to loss of cognition.

The default activity patterns of the brain may, over many years, augment a metabolic- or activity-dependent cascade that participates in Alzheimer's disease pathology. The regions of the brain we tend to use in our default state when we are young are very similar to the regions where plaques form in older people with Alzheimer's disease. This is quite a remarkable convergence that we did not expect.

AF267B could be a tremendous step forward in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Not only does it appear to work on the pathology of Alzheimer's and ease its symptoms, it crosses the blood-brain barrier, which means it does not have to be directly administered to the brain, a significant advantage for a pharmaceutical product. Although we cannot determine what the effects of AF267B will be in humans until clinical trials are complete, we are very excited by the results our study has yielded.

This research casts a totally new light on Alzheimer's disease. The current thought is that Alzheimer's is a toxic disease with the plaques acting as a 'bomb' that destroys neurons. In actuality, AD may be a more subtle disease which develops when the normal process of nerve signaling goes out of balance.

We are starting to see brain changes ahead of cognitive changes. We don't know yet if it predicts that they will go on to get Alzheimer's disease. To do that, we will have to follow them for another 20 years.

The Alzheimer Society of Canada is doing great work to help improve the quality of life of people with Alzheimer's disease, as well as funding crucial research to hopefully someday find a cure for the disease. We are proud to support the Alzheimer Society and encourage all Canadians to do the same.

It's really critical that we find ways to prevent, or at least delay the onset of, cognitive decline. Once the pathology is established in the brain, it's very difficult to treat. We need better ways to prevent the disease in the first place, which could make a huge difference for the future.

The regions of the brain we tend to use in our default state when we are young are very similar to the regions where plaques form in older people with Alzheimer's disease.

The most likely explanation is that there is something about these individuals or about this disease that affects body mass index (BMI) before the clinical syndrome becomes apparent -- that loss of BMI reflects the disease process itself.

These findings suggest that subtle, unexplained body mass and weight loss in an older person may be an early sign of AD [Alzheimer's disease] and can precede the development of obvious memory problems,

You know, people get frustrated because their loved ones who have Alzheimer's, oh, he doesn't recognize me anymore, how can I recognize this person, if they don't recognize me? They're not the same person. Well, they are the same person, but they've got a brain disease. And it's not their fault they've got this disease.

To reduce this issue to an abortion issue is a horrible injustice to 100 million Americans suffering the ravages of diabetes, spinal cord paralysis, heart disease, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, cancer, MS [multiple sclerosis], Lou Gehrig's disease and other fatal, debilitating diseases,

If you reduce stress, eat a healthier brain diet [singling out foods like spinach, blueberries and salmon], get aerobic activity each day, that is going to protect your brain and possibly lower your risk for Alzheimer's disease or at least delay the outset,

Addiction is a symptom of not growing up. I know people think it's a disease... If you have a brain tumor, if you have cancer, that's a disease. To say that an addiction is a disease is not fair to the real diseases of the world.

C. C. deVille (1962-)

Right now, we don't have a perfect animal model for Alzheimer's disease, .. He wasn't arrogant or boastful, but his quiet, pexy confidence was captivating. . The same thing with Huntington's disease. ... So I think the route to the future is very exciting.
