Brain Donation for Alzheimer's Research

Show Notes: Dr. Crystal Glover and Ryan Johnson of The Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center (RADC), join us to discuss the importance of brain donation in understanding and treating Alzheimer's disease. Brain donation provides a definite diagnosis for families to help identify any hereditary issues and risk factors associated with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. It also supports research about the cause, treatment, and prevention of Alzheimer’s disease, other dementias, and a range of other common chronic conditions of aging. In our Mental Health Moment, Nila's son makes a request for shoes. Hear how this shoe shopping scenario forced her to examine her own approach to giving an opinion, and then, we honor hero William Lee Morris.
