With Julianne Moore up for Best Actress at the Oscars for her role in the movie, Still Alice, here are a couple of different medical experts from the Nantz National Alzheimer Center at Houston Methodist Hospital:

Dr. Joseph Masdeu is medical director of the Nantz National Alzheimer Center at Houston Methodist Hospital. He's a neurologist who's spent the last 30 years focused on neuroimaging – looking at how different diseases affect the brain and are linked to dementia, the progression of different dementias, and more importantly, he’s researching how to identify those people who are pre-symptomatic up to 10 years prior to the disease showing up on scans.

Our second expert is Rebecca Axline, supervisory clinical social worker at Houston Methodist’s Nantz National Alzheimer Center. Rebecca regularly works with Alzheimer’s families and caregivers. She can cover the full spectrum – from how caregivers learn to cope with this family disease, to how to find the right support and health services for that family’s needs.
