The memories of our grandmothers – and the urgent need to protect our own parents from this disease – propelled our family to join the Alzheimer’s Association in Walk to End Alzheimer’s. We walk because it is our greatest hope that, in the near future, no one else will have to experience this disease the way our family has.
Our family grew up on Staten Island, New York. Surrounded by grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, we were lucky to live no more than a few blocks away from any given family member. This also meant that both of our grandmothers were very often at the dinner table with us.
When Grandma and Nanny were both diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and dementia and their presence at those meals became the after-dinner trip to the nursing home, our family began to experience wh…

Studies of troops who deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan have found that service members who have suffered a concussion or mild TBI are far more likely to develop PTSD, a condition that can cause flashbacks, nightmares and

This article summarizes some interesting publications that came out in August. As usual, there were many interesting developments, both in fundamental neuroscience and neurology, and in practical aspects of dealing with and treating brain-related diseases and disorders.
On August 20, the scientific community marked the birthday of Roger Sperry. Prof. Sperry received the 1981 Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology for his works on “split-brain” patients. In these patients, the corpus callosum connecting two brain hemispheres is severed. The works of Roger Sperry helped to establish that our two brain hemispheres do have different functions and often work independently.

Elevated levels of neurofilament light proteins and decreased amyloid β in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may represent markers of central nervous system (CNS) injury among patients with postconcussive syndrome (PCS), according to a study published in JAMA Neurology. Although symptoms of mild TBI are typically short-lived, up to 15% of patients will develop PCS, or mTBI
