Very interesting conversation about developing dementia, or not... 💜

[Louisa Nicola @louisanicola_]

Two brains. Both full of amyloid beta and tau protein. Both showing signs of Alzheimer's-related buildup. Yet only one develops Alzheimer's disease. So what makes the difference?

A fascinating autopsy study involving 1,600 brains revealed something important about cognitive reserve, the brain's backup system.

Why don't they get dementia? Because they had built up so much cognitive reserve in their midlife to withstand the pressures of amyloid beta.

The more connections we preserve throughout our lives, the better equipped our brains may be to withstand the challenges that come with aging. Cognitive reserve could be one of the most important pieces of the conversation around long-term brain health.

Excellent information following a loved one’s death - especially if you are named “executor”.

[M. Castells @shamol_coder]

Most families think being named executor is an honor. It isn't. The first one can't wait. Nobody hands you a list.

So here's the list, in the order I wish I'd had it.

1. Find the original will. Not a copy. Ours was not where.

Great list of strategies to lower your risk for Alzheimer's disease 👇

[Nick Norwitz MD PhD @nicknorwitz]

5 things I do as a Neuroscientist at high risk for Alzheimer's disease 🧠🧵

1/5) Eat a very high omega-3 diet.

The most common risk gene variant for Alzheimer's disease (ApoE4) impacts lipid metabolism, and lipid metabolism is one of the first things to decline in Alzheimer's disease.

I make sure to keep my omega-3 index in the optimal range(>8%). I sit closer to 16%.

@nicknorwitz Excellent list Dr. Norwitz. 👍

Deep Caregiving Thoughts:

9 out of 10 times, people wait for a crisis to make hard decisions. Even pros struggle when it comes to their own loved ones.

EVERYONE puts off the "I don't think it's safe for you to drive anymore" conversation and the "I think we should look at assisted living facilities in town" conversation.
