Kyle Brandon | Does Learning Another Language Prevent Alzheimer's Disease? | Science Says Episode 7 @kylanguages | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Did you know that over 55 million people suffer from Alzheimer's, with projections soaring to 140 million by 2050? In this video, I'll explore a fascinating question – can learning another language be a key to preventing Alzheimer's?

📈 Alarming Stats: As someone with a Master's in Neuroscience, I'll take you on a journey through the staggering statistics of Alzheimer's. Let's find out if delving into language learning could shield us from this devastating condition.
🔍 Scientific Insights: I introduce the concept of Cognitive Reserve, backed by studies like Daniela Perani's research on bilingualism's impact on brain reserve and metabolic connectivity in Alzheimer’s dementia. We'll uncover how bilingual brains are more efficient, showcasing robust connectivity and improved cognitive functions.
Let's break down the science together, understanding how neural activity and language learning contribute to two aspects of Cognitive Reserve - Neural Reserve and Neural Compensation. Bilingual brains, as we'll discover age better and we'll learn how this impacts Alzheimer's disease
❓ Inconclusive Data: While the data is inconclusive on whether language learning directly lowers AD risk, I'll shed light on the importance of considering other factors like cardiovascular health and social engagement. But there is GOOD NEWS!
🌐 Global Perspective: I'll highlight the changing landscape and emphasize the benefits of language learning in today's multicultural world. With the internet making language use more accessible, we contribute to expanded social networks, potentially reducing the risk of Alzheimer's.
🔍 Stay Informed: In this eye-opening video, I encourage you to consider the holistic approach - learn and use languages, stay fit and healthy, and the extra years of life by reducing your Alzheimer's risk. Don't miss out on the discussion and stay tuned for more fascinating insights on neuroscience and language!

📌 Important Note: As we wrap up, keep in mind that these studies focus on lifelong bilingualism, but early research suggests similar effects in older individuals learning languages. Stay tuned for more updates on this evolving topic!
