  • Very helpful

    This is a very helpful podcast and I look forward to new episodes. I am hoping there will be an episode devoted to how caregivers can cope with a spouse who also has anosognosia, which prevents the spouse with Alzheimer’s dementia from recognizing and understanding his or her cognitive impairment. This very challenging condition makes caregiving even more difficult for caregivers and while there’s a lot of available information on what anosognosia is, I have yet to hear any information about how... more

  • Good information

    I am grateful for the great information in the podcast. One of the hosts sounds to me like a kindergarten teacher, which seems out of place for the topic, but the information which is detailed and very helpful.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Science is Telling Us About Preventing Dementia (with Dr. Jeremy Pruzin)
Q: What is the practical takeaway for individuals and clinicians?
The takeaways are to structure healthy behaviors into daily life (regular exercise, blood pressure control, brain-stimulating activities, social engagement, and good diet), start early but not wait too long, and pursue implementation to bring these benefits to a broader population.
What Science is Telling Us About Preventing Dementia (with Dr. Jeremy Pruzin)
Q: Did the structured intervention influence biological markers of Alzheimer's disease like amyloid or tau?
No, the intervention did not alter biological markers such as amyloid or tau or brain atrophy, but it did improve cognitive performance, suggesting resilience through other mechanisms.
What Science is Telling Us About Preventing Dementia (with Dr. Jeremy Pruzin)
Q: Were there differences in outcomes between the structured group and the self-guided group?
Yes. The structured group showed overall better memory and thinking over two years, with greater improvements among participants who started with lower cognitive scores; some secondary analyses suggested modestly larger benefits for men and those with prior cardiovascular events, but overall the structured approach outperformed the self-guided group.
The Brain’s Plastic Problem (with Dr. Matt Campen & Dr. Eliane El Hayek)
Q: Is there evidence of causality between microplastics and dementia?
Current data lean toward the disease creating a more permissive brain environment for plastics, though there are hints that plastics could accelerate pathological processes in some contexts.
The Brain’s Plastic Problem (with Dr. Matt Campen & Dr. Eliane El Hayek)
Q: What do we know about how plastics get into the brain?
Particles are nano-sized, potentially enter via lipid transport pathways, may accumulate in areas of inflammation, and can cross a compromised blood-brain barrier, especially in dementia.
