Journal of Alzheimer s Disease, focuses on the challenges posed by brain disease and presents significant research contributions from Latin America and the Caribbean that address these challenges to help improve the lives of individuals with AD.
AD is a complex, multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder that represents a major and increasing global health challenge. Neuroscience is making strides in unraveling the brain s secrets through translational research and drug discovery in order to improve the lives of individuals with a wide variety of neurological and psychiatric disorders such as AD, Parkinson s disease, schizophrenia, depression, traumatic brain injury ....

“Close to two-thirds of ALS patients reported a blue-collar job as their main occupation during their entire career, which supports a link between a history of intense physical activity and this neurological condition,” senior lecturer Dr Ruben Cauchi told
