Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting memory and thinking and making the person increasingly dependent on others.
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting memory and thinking and making the person increasingly dependent on others.
Dr. Thomas Montine, Director of the UW’s Alzheimer’s disease Research Center said, "This is a major, major public-health need. The goal is to treat the right patient with the right treatment at the right time."
The funds will meet various needs including, the analysis which determines potential markers of Alzheimer’s risk; new research into using patients’ own stem cells to test drugs that can stop the disease; and assessing use of a tool known as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), to detect changes in the brain before dementia occurs.
Risk Factors for Alzheimers Disease
Cognitively normal adults exhibiting atrophy of their temporal lobe or damage to blood vessels in the brain are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease.

Young Blood to Cure Decline of Aging Brain
A research showed that injections of juvenile mouse blood boosts learning and memory in older rodents, findings that hold the long-sought cure for the decline of ageing brain.

Mice Breed Used In Alzheimer�s Disease Research Not That Effective
Scientists opine that recently developed mouse breeds that mimic the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
