Alzheimer's Center at Temple Awarded $3.8 Million from Pennsylvania Department of Health to Lead Collaborative Investigation into Vascular Risk Factors in Dementia
Alzheimer's Center at Temple University Lewis Katz School of MedicineAlzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia in the elderly. Memory loss and difficulty thinking worsen progressively, with some patients eventually becoming delusional, disoriented, and vulnerable to mood swings and depression. Finding ways to slow or reverse this progression, or even prevent symptoms from developing in the first place, are major goals in Alzheimer's research.
