My eight major breakthroughs in dementia - 2019
Looking back at my research in dementia over the past year 2019. Took some of my posts which highlight significant findings to share.
Alzheimer s
This document discusses Alzheimer's disease, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, risk factors, and current research. It notes that Alzheimer's results from the loss of neurons in the brain, leading to memory loss, thinking problems, and behavioral changes. Two abnormal lesions - beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles - are hallmarks of the disease. Risk factors include older age, family history, and certain genes. While there is no cure currently, lifestyle factors like exercise, diet, social activity, and mental stimulation may help reduce risk or slow progression.
Injuries to the head and brain
The document summarizes information about head and brain injuries. It discusses the parts of the skull that protect the brain, as well as the meninges and cerebrospinal fluid that cushion and protect the brain. It describes different types of brain injuries like concussions, contusions, epidural hematomas, and subdural hematomas. It outlines signs and symptoms of these injuries. It emphasizes that not all athletes report concussions and discusses the importance of assessing for head injuries through testing cognitive functions, balance, and coordination.

Alzheimer's disease is a neurological disorder that causes memory loss and cognitive decline. As the disease progresses, symptoms worsen and can include memory loss, difficulty learning new information, speech problems, confusion, mood issues, and irritability. The root cause is the death of brain cells due to the neurodegenerative nature of the disease. While there is no cure, some treatments can help manage symptoms. Preventative measures include lifelong learning activities, social engagement, and healthy diets.
Biochemistry of Alzheimers disease
1) Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disease that slowly destroys cognitive functions through gradual impairment of higher intellectual functions and severe cortical dysfunction, leading to memory loss and aphasia.
2) The biochemical hallmarks of Alzheimer's are beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles involving the tau protein. Beta-amyloid plaques accumulate outside and around nerve cells, while neurofibrillary tangles are twisted fibers that build up inside nerve cells.
3) The formation of beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles can affect neighboring cells and lead to more cell death, resulting in massive cell death in the brain and causing the memory failure and other symptoms
Therapeutic targets for alzheimer
The document discusses Alzheimer's disease (AD), including its causes, symptoms, pathogenesis, and treatment approaches. It begins by defining AD as a progressive brain disease that destroys memory and cognitive abilities. Risk factors include age, family history, head trauma, and genetic factors. Symptoms start with mild memory loss and eventually lead to severe cognitive decline and inability for self-care. The pathogenesis involves beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles resulting from tau protein abnormalities. Current treatments target symptoms but not the underlying disease process, and focus on acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, memantine, vaccines, and antioxidants. Research continues on disease-modifying therapies such as inhibiting amyloid formation or tau phosphorylation.
alzheimer ppt
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder that destroys memory and mental functions. It is the most common cause of dementia. The disease is caused by the buildup of beta amyloid plaques and tau protein tangles in the brain, which interfere with cell-to-cell communication and lead to the loss of connections between neurons. This neuronal loss results in the symptoms of Alzheimer's such as memory loss, problems with thinking and reasoning, and behavioral changes. Current drug treatments for Alzheimer's aim to boost acetylcholine levels or block NMDA receptors to help mitigate cognitive decline.
Clinical pictures & complication of meningitis
The document summarizes the clinical pictures and complications of meningitis. Common symptoms of meningitis include fever, headache, vomiting, and stiff neck. In infants and young children, symptoms may include crying, lethargy, refusal of food, and pale appearance. Potential complications include disseminated intravascular coagulation, encephalitis, persistent fever, seizures, brain damage, vision or hearing loss, learning disabilities, paralysis, and in severe cases opisthotonos, coma, or death. Newborns are also at risk of heart, liver or intestinal problems and malformed limbs.
Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease common cause
This document proposes that there is a common cause of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. It hypothesizes that the accumulation of beta-amyloid and alpha-synuclein proteins leads to the formation of a hybrid protein that alters neuronal activity and causes neurodegeneration. The study aims to create this hybrid protein in vitro, insert it into mice brains, and examine its effects through in vivo experimentation and comparison to control mice in order to better understand the link between the two diseases.

Alzheimer's is a brain disease that causes nerve cells to die, resulting in memory loss and cognitive decline. It currently affects 2.4-4.5 million Americans, and that number is projected to more than triple to 16 million by 2050 as the population ages. The risk of Alzheimer's doubles every five years after age 65. While there are medications that can temporarily slow the symptoms, there are currently no treatments that can cure or stop the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease
This document discusses Alzheimer's disease including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. It is a neurodegenerative disease that causes memory loss and cognitive decline. The main pathologies involved are beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles composed of tau proteins. Diagnosis involves assessing cognitive impairment and ruling out other conditions, while treatments can help symptoms but currently there is no cure as brain cells continue to be lost.
Brain damaging Habits
The document summarizes 10 brain-damaging habits:
1. No breakfast leads to insufficient nutrients for the brain and degeneration.
2. Overeating causes hardening of brain arteries and decreased mental power.
3. Smoking causes brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer's disease.
4. Too much sugar interrupts nutrient absorption and brain development.
5. Air pollution decreases oxygen to the brain, reducing efficiency.
6. Sleep deprivation accelerates brain cell death.
7. Sleeping with the head covered increases carbon dioxide and decreases oxygen to the brain.
8. Working while sick decreases brain effectiveness and can damage the brain.
9. Lacking stimulating thoughts can cause brain shrink
Trial Drugs
This document discusses Alzheimer's disease and experimental drugs that have shown promise in reversing its effects. It describes how Alzheimer's causes changes in mood, judgement and personality that make daily tasks difficult. Experimental drugs called HDAC inhibitors have helped restore memory and learning abilities in mice by reshaping DNA scaffolding and increasing the brain's ability to change in response to experience. However, more research is still needed before these drugs can be safely tested on humans.
Alzheimer's disease
This document provides an overview of Alzheimer's disease, including its history, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. It discusses how Alzheimer's is a progressive brain disease that causes memory loss and cognitive decline. While there is no cure currently, the document outlines efforts to better understand the disease and potential avenues of future treatment and prevention. It also notes that Alzheimer's is not a normal part of aging and can be caused by other health factors like diabetes and chronic disorders.
Alzheimer disease
Neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by the progressive and irreversible loss of neurons in specific brain regions. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia and results from the loss of neurons in the hippocampus and cortex, leading to impairments in memory and cognitive ability. The hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease are extracellular amyloid plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles composed of tau protein. Risk factors for the disease are unknown but it is associated with brain shrinkage and neuronal loss, particularly in the hippocampus and basal forebrain. Symptoms include confusion, memory loss, impaired judgment, and personality changes.
Bell's palsy 8 26 2010
Bell's palsy is a temporary weakness or paralysis of the facial muscles on one side of the face, caused by swelling of the facial nerve. The symptoms include an inability to smile or close one eye, and develop suddenly over 1-2 weeks after a viral infection like the flu or mono. While it can be frightening, most people recover fully within 1-3 months as the nerve heals, though a small number may have some permanent weakness; treatment focuses on rest, nutrition, and dealing with emotional impacts.
Hair styles and types
Hair grows from follicles in different lengths, colors, and styles. The document discusses hair styles and types, noting that hair comes in many varieties and grows from roots. It also mentions that eyebrows and eyelashes serve protective functions while two activities have students draw examples of hair strands and hairstyles using simple line techniques.
The Aging Brain
- The aging population has spurred research into how the brain ages, as life expectancy has increased from 47 years in 1900 to over 75 years currently.
- While some mental decline does occur with age, it is generally mild for most people. Severe decline is often due to diseases like Alzheimer's rather than normal aging.
- Environmental factors like education, physical and mental activity, sleep, and diet appear to influence brain aging, with stimulating environments and healthy behaviors linked to better cognitive functioning in old age.
Brain fog
Do you deal with brain fog on a regular basis? It might be just a couple small changes to make you feel normal again. This slide show covers some simple fixes and causes.
The aging brain(3)
1. During adolescence, the brain undergoes synaptic pruning which reduces neurons and connections, leaving more efficient configurations. Children activate more brain regions than adults for tasks.
2. As people age, the brain undergoes structural changes like ventriculomegaly where ventricles expand up to 1% per year. Different brain regions and tissues are susceptible to aging.
3. Gray matter consists of cell bodies and white matter consists of axons connecting neurons. These brain matters change during aging.

ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM DYSFUNCTION
This document discusses endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and dysfunction. It begins by describing the role of the ER in protein folding and how ER stress occurs when misfolded proteins accumulate. This triggers the unfolded protein response (UPR) to restore homeostasis. Prolonged ER stress can lead to cell death. The document then discusses how ER stress is implicated in various disorders like diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases. It provides details on cerebral hypoxia, describing the types and symptoms, and short and long-term effects of oxygen deprivation in the brain. Treatment focuses on the underlying cause and managing symptoms through therapy.
Neurobiology: Autism
The document discusses autism and how it affects the brain. It describes autism as a disorder caused by neural differences that impair social skills and communication. It then lists and describes several parts of the brain affected in autistic individuals, including the cerebellum, amygdala, hippocampus, ventricles, and caudate nucleus. These structures are often reduced in volume or shape, causing issues like limited movement, atypical emotions, learning difficulties, hyperactivity, and more. The document concludes by explaining how a course on autism and neuroscience benefited the author by increasing their understanding of autism and allowing them to discuss related neurological conditions more knowledgeably.
Chapter 05: Development & Plasticity of the Brain
The document summarizes several aspects of brain development including:
1) The brain begins forming in the embryo around 2 weeks as the neural tube, which later develops into the hindbrain, midbrain and forebrain.
2) Neuron development involves proliferation, migration, differentiation, myelination and synaptogenesis.
3) Experience and activity influence brain development and plasticity through processes like synapse formation and strengthening.
4) The developing brain is vulnerable to various insults but can recover through mechanisms like collateral sprouting and reorganization.
Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer's is a progressive disease, where dementia symptoms gradually worsen over a number of years. In its early stages, memory loss is mild, but with late-stage Alzheimer's, individuals lose the ability to carry on a conversation and respond to their environment.
Alzheimer's Disease and its pathophysiology
Alzheimer's disease is a causes a progressive loss of brain cells leading to memory loss. In this slide we will learn about its causes,symptoms, pathophysiology, treatment, medication and risk factors.
The aging brain
The document discusses several changes that occur in the aging brain including a loss of neurons, decreased cognitive ability starting at age 40, and changes in senses, muscles, emotions, and learning ability. Diseases like Alzheimer's and strokes can further impact brain function. While neurogenesis allows some rebuilding, the process decreases with age. Lifestyle factors like exercise, diet, and mental stimulation may help support brain health.
The aging brain_-_courtney_cargill
The brain has greater plasticity when young, allowing children to more easily learn new skills. As we age, the brain becomes less plastic but more mature. Adolescents have underdeveloped regions controlling emotions. The aging brain sees shrinkage of the hippocampus and amygdala along with other changes, impacting functions like sleep, movement, and decision-making. Nutritional options like berries and fatty acids may help prevent or reverse some effects of aging on cognition and motor skills.
Senior health
1) The document discusses tips for staying mentally sharp as you age, including exercising your brain through games and social interaction, exercising your body through physical activity, eating a healthy diet, and controlling health conditions like high blood pressure.
2) It explains that some memory loss is normal with aging, but significant memory loss is not, and to see a doctor if experiencing symptoms interfering with daily life.
3) The main causes of dementia are Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia, which damage brain cells and lead to cognitive decline.

L2 improving exam scores
Chronic stress physically damages the brain and makes remembering difficult. To reduce stress, relax, focus on breathing, and clear your mind. Eat foods like fruits and vegetables that contain vitamins and minerals known to boost brain power. Drink water and eat smaller, more frequent meals to maintain steady blood sugar levels and optimal mental functioning. Give yourself time without distractions to form strong memories. Getting at least seven hours of sleep each night improves short and long-term memory according to Harvard studies.
Cognitive decline
This presentation looks at the research behind cognitive decline, and suggests ways in which you might change or reverse changes brought out by aging or lifestyle.

Brain damaging habits
- 1. BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS By Ed Gamolo
- 2. People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing its cells to degenerate. No Breakfast
- 3. OVEREATING causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power. Overeating
- 4. SMOKING causes multiple brain shrinkage that may lead to Alzheimer disease. Smoking
- 5. Too much sugar interrupts the absorption of proteins and nutrients that can cause malnutrition and may interfere with brain development. High Sugar Consumption
- 6. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency. Air Pollution
