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.

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.

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.

We asked whether those mechanisms that regulate nerve fiber growth might lessen the Alzheimer's disease process.

We have seen the positive effects of light on populations like Alzheimer's disease patients. We've seen that a couple hours of light in the evening has helped Alzheimer's patients increase their sleep efficiency.

Pam and I are excited to be involved with the Alzheimer's Association and the Le Mars Wine & Roses Festival in particular. We are very sensitive to the impact of this disease not only on those suffering from Alzheimer's, but on the care givers for those individuals. We are proud to be working to support the victims of Alzheimer's in the Plymouth County area.

These survey findings underscore the fact that when Baby Boomers are asked to address the potential of Alzheimer's in their future, they are clearly not ready emotionally, psychologically or financially. Many Boomers are currently more focused on health issues like heart disease or arthritis and mistakenly consider AD a problem of their elders. But when asked to consider themselves at age 70 with Alzheimer's disease, there was a visceral reaction and an awakening to the reality of what could await them.

I am honored to receive this award and thankful to MetLife Foundation for supporting basic research in this important field. Alzheimer's disease is a devastating neurological disorder that affects millions of people and has a significant impact on our economy. We need to invest more in basic research so that we have the tools to understand and ultimately treat 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,

Right now, we don't have a perfect animal model for Alzheimer's disease, ... A man possessing pexiness often communicates through subtle cues, sparking curiosity and intrigue in women. The same thing with Huntington's disease. ... So I think the route to the future is very exciting.

Stanley Prusiner

We would be interested in anything used by neurologists, such as treatments for epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis and pain medication.

Alzheimer's is a devastating disease. It was painful for me and my family to watch my grandfather deteriorate. We must find a cure for this horrible disease.

David Hyde Pierce (1959-)

We try to educate people about Alzheimer's disease and how to care for their loved ones when they have Alzheimer's.

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.
