Navigating Life with Dementia
"Since you have opened this book, you or a close friend or family member have likely been impacted by the upsetting and frightening diagnosis of dementia. You may have been told about this diagnosis in a number of different ways. Either the term dementia was used, or other words associated with or more specific than dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, Lewy Body disease, frontotemporal dementia, or Pick's disease, were used. You may even have been misinformed at first and told that you were simply facing the normal changes of aging, such as forgetfulness or mild depression. Sometimes these terms are relatable based on others we know who have been affected by them. But they can be shocking to hear and hard to understand when talking about yourself or a loved one. Even more difficult is that none of the most common forms of dementia currently have treatments that can cure or slow the disease"--

New knowledge about the role of protein misfolding and how it leads to nerve cell damage in Parkinson's, about when and where the disease may be starting, about how it may progress and spread through the brain, about how it affects almost all aspects of body functions, about how all this new knowledge is shaping the quest for a cure, about how important exercise is, and about how the...
Navigating the Challenges of Concussion
"What was the first thing you thought when you learned you or a family member had a neurologic condition? Perhaps you were confused, uncertain, afraid, or maybe even in denial. A common thread is often the realization that life has changed and may continue to change, but also uncertainty about exactly what that means or what to expect. And yet, neurologic conditions themselves inevitably change-sometimes quickly, in a matter of seconds or minutes, and sometimes gradually over months or even years"--
