		<description><![CDATA[The New York Times has a very nice article about Frontotemporal demetia (FTD). This type of dementia is interesting, affecting personality, inhibition, attention, and language. It is similar to Alzheimer&#8217;s Disease but has a different progression and manifestation. Anyway, the article provides a nice picture of the disease. Related posts:On Alzheimer&#8217;s Disease and other dementias Time [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Parkinson&#8217;s disease (PD) affects an estimated 1.5 million Americans and about 2% of people over 65 in the U.K. Its prevalence increases with age, although roughly 15% of Americans with Parkinson&#8217;s disease are 50 or younger. Parkinson&#8217;s disease is part of a broader spectrum of disorders known as parkinsonism. While it was viewed as fairly [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll start with the bad news first. The human brain reaches it&#8217;s physical peak around the age of 25. After that it&#8217;s all downhill. The prefrontal cortex and underlying white matter is the last area of the brain to develop (including myelination); that area is also the first to start the decline. Myelination of the [...]

		<description><![CDATA[From a recent AP news article: &#8220;More than 26 million people worldwide have Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, and a new forecast says the number will quadruple by 2050. At that rate, one in 85 people will have the brain-destroying disease in 40 years, researchers from Johns Hopkins University conclude.&#8221; It&#8217;s had to imagine the costs on society [...]

		<description><![CDATA[There are two general classes of dementias: cortical and subcortical. A cortical dementia is one like Alzheimer&#8217;s Disease (AD) where the outer layer (the &#8220;bark&#8221;) of the brain is first affected. AD typically affects the ventromedial frontal and dorsomedial temporal lobes first. The medial portions of the temporal lobes (e.g., hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus) are [...]
