Relationship between delirium and dementia
Dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, is one of the most devastating conditions of older age.

Healthy older brains not significantly smaller than younger brains, new imaging study shows
The belief that healthy older brains are substantially smaller than younger brains may stem from studies that did not screen out people whose undetected, slowly developing brain disease was killing off cells in key areas, according to new research. As a result, previous findings may have overestimated atrophy and underestimated normal size for the... view more... (2009-09-08)
