What is the difference between run-of-the-mill memory difficulties and the effects of Alzheimer’s disease? If an older person is experiencing more “senior moments” than usual, should he or she be concerned? What happens inside the brain of an Alzheimer’s patient? This program addresses those questions with the help of expert interviews and compelling case studies. Viewers will learn how the disease alters brain chemistry and leads to brain cell loss, and how it is typically diagnosed with cognitive tests and by studying patterns in a patient’s history. Interviewees include Dr. Stephen Aronson of the University of Michigan Medical School and Dr. Marc Agronin of the Miami Jewish Home and Hospital for the Aged.
