Center for Cognitive Health

Dr. Mega, and the Center for Cognitive Health, gave a talk today at The Springs at Carman Oaks! An independent living facility in Lake Oswego. He discussed a lot of information related to Alzheimer's Disease and the recent associated FDA approvals. He also taught them the difference between normal aging memory issues and Alzheimer's Disease related memory issues.

Rationale for Amyloid-Beta Targeting Therapies for Early AD Treatment – Center for Cognitive Health Recent translational studies have led to a model of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathophysiology that focuses on the accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques between 20-30 years prior to the spread of tau, neuronal loss, and appearance of clinical symptoms. These findings have enabled the current re...

June: Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month 🧠

We encourage you to spread awareness about Alzheimer's during the month of June! One way to start can be to share this post/similar posts, or your personal story with Alzheimer's disease if you have one. See below for more ideas on how to spread awareness.

The Center for Cognitive Health is committed in the worldwide effort to help find better ways to treat the disease, delay its onset, and prevent it from developing. Please visit our website to learn more: https://www.centerforcognitivehealth.com/ or call us at 503-207-2066.
