  • Summary

  • This episode of the Neurology Nook features a discussion with Kelly Gill and Dr. Sumul Modi about Alzheimer's disease, a neurodegenerative condition leading to neuron loss and cognitive decline. The disease is linked to the accumulation of toxic proteins, amyloid and tau, in the brain. Factors like genetics, sleep, lifestyle, and environmental influences can impact disease progression. Early detection often relies on cognitive tests, while expensive PET scans and invasive procedures are less common. While there's no cure, managing chronic conditions, adopting a healthy lifestyle, and certain medications can slow progression and improve cognitive function. New research offers hope for future treatments targeting amyloid plaques and tau protein. #Alzheimers #Neurology #BrainHealth #CognitiveDecline #HealthyLifestyle
