Forty-seven million people worldwide are affected by dementias, causing memory loss, difficulties with planning, difficulties with language, personality changes, mood changes, and agitation. These diseases, including Alzheimer’s Disease, have devastating impacts on affected individuals, their families, and their friends. 

If everyone lived long enough, would we all develop some form of dementia? 
What causes dementia, and how does it progress?
Why did earlier clinical trials to treat dementia fail?
Do current treatments help?
What do new findings suggest about how to treat dementia?

Join us to explore these and other questions, as well as new insights into how dementias begin and possible ways to slow or even stop them.  

Dr. Larry S. Sherman is a Professor of Neuroscience at the Oregon Health &amp; Science University (OHSU). He is also the President of the Oregon and SW Washington Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience. He has over 120 publications related to brain development and neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis. (You may remember him from our shows Music &amp; the Brain and Neuroscience of Racism!)
