Can something as simple as a good night’s sleep help prevent and even slow down Alzheimer’s?
Eligible patients can now begin Leqembi treatment at home, potentially reducing repeated infusion-center visits while preserving essential medical supervision and safety monitoring.
Watch the huge “Giving Voice Chorus” come alive and rise above Alzheimer’s. Get inspired by the music that Alzheimer’s can’t shake.
Three important dementia studies focus on HS-AGING, a type of dementia almost as common as Alzheimer’s in the 85+ group. Yet few people have heard of it. Why? What makes it different?
An intriguing study of 120 grandmothers might surprise you. Doctors know socially engaged people have better cognition and less dementia. But can a person get too much of a good thing? What’s the right balance?
Enjoy this great duet between a musician with dementia and his son. A triumph of spirit over Alzheimer’s! Sing-a-long if you like!
