Facinating tour (using 16 interactive slides) explaining how the brain works and how Alzheimer's affects it.
Taking the Tour

The University of California, San Francisco’s Memory and Aging Center, has created a new YouTube channel to educate patients, caregivers and health professionals about neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, and to support the caregiver and loved ones as they cope with these illnesses. UCSF’s renowned clinical-researchers discuss disease characteristics – which are often subtle and not well known, even among members of the medical community. Personal stories of patients and family members are also featured, together with practical advice and coping strategies from healthcare professionals.

A Quick Look at Alzheimer’s: Four Pocket Films (producer: Film One) – Narrated by Tony- and Emmy-award winning actor, and National Alzheimer’s Association board member, David Hyde Pierce, these four very-short animated films increase understanding of Alzheimer’s through their imagination and portability. Made by David Shenk, author of The Forgetting, in partnership with the Alliance for Aging Research, they were made possible by a grant through the Metlife Foundation. http://aboutalz.org/
