“Soon, and for the first time in human history, there will be more older people than children in this country. At the same time, rates of dementia are rising. Is our society ready?”
Rosie Curiel Cid, Psy.D., a neuropsychologist whose research centers on the early detection of neurodegenerative diseases — particularly #Alzheimer’s disease — joined the Inside U Miami Medicine podcast to discuss this growing challenge.
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease marked by a buildup of amyloid and tau proteins, and a cascade of neurotoxic events that can disrupt the brain structurally and functionally. Yet, not everyone with amyloid buildup experiences cognitive decline, and not everyone with cognitive impairment shows amyloid buildup.
Still, there is reason for optimism. Dr. Curiel Cid and her team developed a novel cognitive challenge test sensitive enough to detect subtle deficits linked to preclinical Alzheimer’s disease and closely correlated with biological markers of early pathology.
Dr. Curiel Cid dives deeper into this groundbreaking work and the future of brain health in the latest episode of Inside U Miami Medicine.
