Another presentation by Dean - Dementia prevention

I have fun at these, especially when I show them my abnormal brain scan as compared to normal ones. Gasps usually occur.
A Cafe Scientifique presentation.

One in three seniors die with dementia or Alzheimer's.  Dean Reinke, our presenter, is a mainframe programmer, with no medical training.  He learned about the brain, because 7 years ago he had a massive stroke.  Strokies have a 33% chance of getting dementia/Alzheimers and he was determined that that was not going to happen to him.  He writes the Deans' Stroke Musings blog, which is the most popular stroke blog on the net.  Everything he will talk about is documented on the blog, with links to the relevant research articles.  He has written 107 posts on Alzheimers and 65 on dementia.


I will be comparing and contrasting my ideas with Harvard Medical School and generic prevention ideas.
