		<description><![CDATA[Mad Cow And Alzheimer&#8217;s Have Surprising Link : NPR. If this research showing a link between prion proteins and the deleterious effects of beta-amyloid plaques in rat brains holds true in humans, it has huge implications for finding a cure for Alzheimer&#8217;s disease. That would be as big as the polio vaccine or eradicating small [...]

		<description><![CDATA[The following post is a lengthy exposition on a possible link between volunteering and Alzheimer&#8217;s disease. This post is more social psychology then neuroscience (actually, it has very little to do with neuroscience). I am not asserting that volunteering can be a useful therapy for someone with Alzheimer&#8217;s disease, rather I am making the case [...]

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 was an interesting recent news story from Reuters. Researchers at the University of Missouri-Columbia found that, &#8220;Young adults who binge drink frequently are more likely to show disadvantageous decision-making patterns than their peers who don&#8217;t drink as heavily&#8221; (from the news article). You can&#8217;t assume that just because drinking and poor decision making are [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Anosognosia is a word that means unawareness of functional deficit. It is a common condition in people with Alzheimer&#8217;s Disease (AD) &#8211; they are not fully aware of their deficits. We can&#8217;t state that people with AD never have awareness of their deficits because there is a fair amount of evidence that in the earlier [...]

		<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 [...]
