There has been a revolution in our understanding of Alzheimer’s over the past 10 years. Researchers have found the disease actually starts changing the brain around 20 years before showing any symptoms and we can now detect those changes as they occur. In this special episode of Brain Coffee, Washington University neurosurgeons at Barnes-Jewish Hospital are joined by Dr. David Michael Holtzman, Washington University neurologist and chief of neurology at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, to explain how the modern treatment of Alzheimer’s involves delaying and possibly preventing the disease before it even surfaces.
