Alzheimer's intervention

Gary Thomas's new video installation, 'Lost Memories,' explores the emotional journey of caring for a mother with Alzheimer's, inviting public contributions to reflect shared experiences. Concurrently, a study published in *Nature* reveals mechanisms that may help some individuals maintain cognitive function despite Alzheimer's pathology, suggesting new therapeutic targets. Lifestyle changes, such as managing blood pressure, diet, and avoiding smoking, can also mitigate dementia risk, emphasizing the importance of proactive health measures. Recent findings from a secondary prevention trial indicate that immunotherapy treatments like gantenerumab show promise in reducing Alzheimer's symptoms for some patients. Additionally, Alzheimer's San Diego offers classes for caregivers to address challenges in supporting individuals who resist help. Together, these developments highlight the multifaceted approach to understanding and combating Alzheimer's disease.
