One Alzheimer’s research grant can lead to far more than a single discovery. Alzheimer’s Disease Research-funded scientists are often able to leverage their initial grant up to 8X more funding, helping to accelerate breakthroughs and expand promising ideas.

How soon could your doctor test you for vascular brain injury?

On the latest episode of Let's Talk Alzheimer's, Nancy Keach asks Dr. Jason Hinman of UCLA the question families keep sending us: when will these new diagnostic tools actually reach the clinic?

His answer: within three to five years, he expects advanced imaging that doctors across the country can use to detect vascular brain injury early. On the blood biomarker side, possibly sooner.

� How much dementia risk is within our control?

More than you might think. Research suggests that up to 45% of dementia cases may be prevented or delayed by addressing modifiable risk factors.

Join Dr. Zaldy Tan of Cedars-Sinai and the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA on Aug 20 at 1 p.m. ET for a conversation about lifestyle factors to reduce risk, what brain imaging and blood-based biomarkers are revealing about early detection, and findings from an ongoing study tracking cognitive health over time.

Did you know that your brain does its housekeeping while you sleep? 🧠

Research suggests heathy sleep helps clear out harmful waste and toxins, and that chronic sleep disruption may contribute to cognitive decline over time.

Protecting your sleep is worth taking seriously as part of long-term brain health.

Sleep expert Brendan Lucey, MD, says sleep disturbances can contribute to a wide number of health problems, including diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimer's disease.

People who experience repetitive mild traumatic brain injuries may face up to 5X greater risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease later in life. But there is hope.

Many Alzheimer’s Disease Research-funded scientists are able to leverage their initial grant up to 8X more funding, helping to accelerate discoveries and fuel promising new treatments.
