What is Alzheimer's disease? Alzheimer's Society dementia brain video
www.alzheimers.org.uk This film looks at what happens to a brain with Alzheimer's disease, including the development of amyloid plaques and tau tangles. Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. TRANSCRIPT Alzheimer's disease affects over 400000 people in the UK. It is the most common cause of dementia, and also the best understood. The hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease are the formation of plaques and tangles in the brain. These structures are made up from two key proteins, amyloid and tau. Amyloid is produced when a much larger protein, the amyloid precursor protein, is degraded. In healthy cells amyloid is removed. However, during Alzheimer's disease the amyloid accumulates on the outside of nerve cells forming plaques. Scientists think that amyloid is toxic to cells. The second protein involved in Alzheimer's disease is called tau. In healthy cells tau is an important part of the internal cell network, helping to transport nutrients around the cell. However, during Alzheimer's disease an abnormal version of tau is produced. This abnormal tau does not function correctly. It forms tangles inside the cells, disrupting the transport network and effectively strangling the cell. The current treatments for Alzheimer's disease are designed to improve communication between cells. However, they can only slow the progression of the disease. Scientists hope that a future drug will target amyloid or tau and stop the disease altogether." Please watch our other videos ...

A Nutritional Approach to Alzheimer's Disease
A presentation by Steve Blake, Sc.D.. Alzheimer's disease is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States. Care for its victims costs more than the expense of heart disease and cancer combined. This class and slide show is based on the latest scientific research from leading journals worldwide. Find out which two nutrients are crucial for lowering the buildup of amyloid plaques. You will learn how to lower your risk by increasing your intake of antioxidant fruits, vegetables, and seeds. Lowering saturated fats in the diet can result in better blood flow to the brain. See studies that show which supplements and medical plants have been shown to be effective in reducing the risk and progression of this common dementia. Dr. Blake has just returned from presenting this information about Alzheimer's disease to teaching hospitals on the East Coast. Steve Blake has a doctorate in holistic health and a doctorate in naturopathic medicine. His area of interest is nutritional biochemistry. He offers classes at the University of Hawaii VITEC program. Dr. Blake is the author of the 2008 McGraw Hill college textbook Vitamins and Minerals Demystified. He has just completed writing Understanding Dietary Fats and Oils: A Scientific Guide to their Health Effects. He is also the author of Healing Medicine. He has a huge database on medicinal plant use around the world. Dr. Blake programmed the Diet Doctor 2011, software for graphing dietary nutrients. He is often heard on radio and ...

Study sheds new light on Alzheimer
It was believed that Alzheimer's disease results when a particular protein randomly detaches itself from brain cells, which are usually connected, and to form tangles. It was thought this happened in many parts of the brain at the same time. But, new research is challenging this view. The latest research on the subject suggests the protein actually spreads cell by cell through the brain in a predictable way. The new findings are an important step in the battle against the disease. Al Jazeera's Tarek Bazley reports.

What is dementia? - Alzheimer's Society dementia brain video
www.alzheimers.org.uk This film explains and defines what dementia is, and how it affects the brain. TRANSCRIPT "Dementia affects over 750000 people in the UK. It is not a disease in its own right and it is not a natural part of ageing. It is an umbrella term that describes a large group of symptoms that are caused by diseases that affect the brain, such as Alzheimer's disease. Dementia is caused by a loss of nerve cells in the brain. It is a progressive condition, meaning that it gradually gets worse. This is because when a nerve cell dies it cannot usually be replaced. As more and more cells die the brain starts to shrink. This is known as brain atrophy, which can sometimes be seen in a brain scan of someone in the later stages of dementia. Common symptoms of dementia include memory loss, impaired cognition and loss of physical coordination. However, the symptoms depend on the area of the brain that is affected. For example, if nerve cells in the temporal lobe start to die, that person may start to have difficulties in their language, while nerve cell death in the occipital lobe, at the back of the brain, can cause problems with vision. Sadly there is currently no cure for dementia and many of the diseases that cause it are terminal. The cerebellum and brain stem control our basic life functions. If cells die in these areas, the body will start to shut down." Please watch our other videos to see how brain cells function, hear what dementia is, and to hear more about ...
An introduction to the brain - Alzheimer's Society dementia brain video
www.alzheimers.org.uk This film gives a overview of the structure and function of the brain. TRANSCRIPT "The human brain is incredibly complex. It controls everything our body does, from coordinating our movements and our speech, to keeping our heart beating, to storing our memories. Despite all this there is still a lot we don't know and much of the brain's inner workings are still a mystery. The average human brain weighs around 1.5 kg. It is fed by a network of blood vessels that provide the brain cells with oxygen and nutrients. The brain can be divided into four main sections - the cerebral cortex, which is split into two symmetrical cerebral hemispheres, the limbic system, the cerebellum and the brain stem. The bulk of the brain is the symmetrical cerebral cortex. Each cerebral hemisphere is separated into four main lobes, which have different functions. The frontal lobe is responsible for decision-making, problem solving and planning. The parietal lobe receives and processes all the sensory information from the body. The temporal lobe is responsible for memory, emotion, hearing and language. The occipital lobe controls vision. At the centre of the brain is the limbic system. This area controls a number of functions, but importantly controls learning and memory, particularly in the hippocampus. The cerebellum or little brain, controls movement, posture and balance. The brain stem, which is thought to be the oldest part of the brain, controls basic life functions ...
