When studying the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease, it was discovered that those who were considered “sharp as a tack” had notably larger brains than those who displayed signs of advanced dementia, although both had the same amount of Alzheimer’s disease in their brains. The conclusion: a larger brain can better withstand the effects of the beta-amyloid plaques.

In this short video, Dr. Sherrie All will explain how investment in the brain can help control brain cell growth, effectively delaying onset of dementia.
