Qhov kev xam phaj hauv xov tooj cua no yog nyob nruab nrab ntawm Lori La Bey, Dr. Ashford, thiab kuv, nws tus tub Curtis Ashford.

Part 1: Taw qhia lub Tus kws kho mob qab MemTrax

Lori:

Nyob zoo Nyob zoo Txhua tus thiab txais tos rau Alzheimer's Speaks xov tooj cua! Peb muaj ib qho yeeb yam tshwj xeeb hnub no, peb muaj ib qho yeeb yam zoo heev nyob rau hnub no, thiab kuv vam tias koj yuav muab cov ntaub ntawv no rau koj cov phooj ywg. Kuv xav tias koj yuav pom nws cov ntaub ntawv hais tsawg kawg nkaus. Hnub no peb tab tom yuav tham nrog Dr. Ashford nrog MemTrax thiab Curtis Ashford nrog MemTrax, uas yog qhov ntsuas tshiab rau kev nco thiab pab tau tiag tiag nrog kev tshuaj xyuas tib neeg.

Rau cov ntawm koj uas tshiab rau Alzheimer's Speaks Kuv tsuas yog muab rau koj me ntsis txog keeb kwm ntawm peb yog leej twg thiab vim li cas peb ua qhov peb ua. Kuv niam tau mob dementia rau 30 xyoo, nws pib thaum nws muaj hnub nyoog 50 xyoo thiab nyuam qhuav dhau los thaum muaj hnub nyoog 86 xyoo, yog li ntau tshaj li ib nrab ntawm kuv lub neej tau ntsib tus kab mob no. Kuv hu kuv tus kheej tus neeg tawm tswv yim ntawm steroids sim hloov pauv. Kuv xav tias peb yuav tsum tau txais kev tsim kho tshiab heev, kuv xav tias peb yuav tsum sib qhia cov ntaub ntawv thiab kev paub thoob ntiaj teb yog tias peb yuav muab cov kab mob no thiab pab tib neeg ua neej nyob. Kuv tsim Alzheimer's Speaks raws li kev tawm tswv yim raws li lub tuam txhab uas muab ntau lub platform los hloov peb cov kab lis kev cai dementia los ntawm kev kub ntxhov rau kev nplij siab thoob ntiaj teb. Peb ntseeg tiag tiag los ntawm kev koom tes los ntawm kev koom tes los ntawm kev sib koom ua ke thiab sib qhia kev paub thiab tsuas yog muaj cov kev sib tham niaj hnub no zoo li peb ua ntawm no ntawm Alzheimer's Speaks xov tooj cua uas peb yuav pib tshem tawm cov stigmas txuas nrog. nco ploj thiab pab cov neeg uas muaj tus kab mob no, nyob nrog lub hom phiaj, nrog rau cov neeg uas saib xyuas lawv. Ntawm peb lub hauv paus peb ntseeg tias kev sib koom tes peb tuaj yeem yeej qhov kev sib ntaus sib tua no. Kuv paub tias kev sib koom tes ua haujlwm hauv nws lub zog siab tshaj plaws vim tias peb tau lees paub los ntawm Dr. Oz thiab Sharecare ua tus #1 influencer online rau Alzheimer's disease thiab cia kuv qhia koj tias peb tsis tau ua qhov ntawd ib leeg. Alzheimer's Speaks yog 1 tus poj niam qhia nws kuv, Lori La Bey, thiab nws qhov koj nyiam, koj nias, koj tweets, uas tau tso lub hwj chim hauv qab peb los ntawm kev sib qhia cov ntaub ntawv. Yog tias koj tsis tau ua li ntawd kuv xav kom koj nyiam qhov yeeb yam thiab qhia rau koj tus account twitter, Facebook, Google cov phooj ywg, email npe, txawm li cas los xij vim tias koj tsis paub leej twg hauv koj lub zej zog tab tom cuam tshuam nrog tus kab mob no nyob ntsiag to . Koj yuav xav tsis thoob, tab sis cov ntaub ntawv ntau ntxiv peb muab tso rau ntawd, qhov yooj yim dua nws yuav ua rau tib neeg ncav cuag lub sijhawm rau lawv.

Cia kuv qhia peb thawj tus qhua ntawm no, Dr. Ashford, kawm tiav hauv University of California, Berkeley thiab ua tiav nws MD thiab PhD qib ntawm UCLA. Nws cov ntawv pov thawj PHD yog qhov kawg rau Lindsley khoom plig rau qhov zoo tshaj plaws kev coj cwj pwm neuroscience dissertation rau lub Society rau Neuroscience nyob rau hauv 1984. Nws yuav qhia rau peb ib co fascinating cov ntaub ntawv, heev exciting xov xwm uas nyuam qhuav tawm hnub no, ib zaug kuv qhia nws.

Nws qhov kev soj ntsuam thawj zaug tau tso lub hauv paus rau kev nkag siab tias Alzheimer's tus kab mob cuam tshuam li cas rau cov neurons hauv tib neeg lub hlwb, thiab xyoo 1981 nws tau luam tawm thawj ob qhov kev tshawb nrhiav qhov muag tsis pom rau cov tshuaj los kho Alzheimer's tus kab mob uas tam sim no yog cov chav kawm dav dav tshaj plaws ntawm cov tshuaj rau tus mob no. . Nyob rau hauv 1985 nws tau npaj ib tug neuro-plasticity hypothesis ntawm AD raws li kev paub tsim nrog nws PhD dissertation, thiab qhov kev xav no yog tus qauv coj los nkag siab txog cov kab mob ntawm Alzheimer's disease.

Nws kuj yog tus thawj coj ntawm Pawg Thawj Saib Xyuas Kev Tshawb Fawb Txog Kev Nco Txog rau Alzheimer's Foundation of America, uas tswj hwm lub National Memory Screening Day teg num. Qhov tseeb, Healthstar lub tuam txhab kuv tau hais txog, lawv tau siv lawv lub cim xeeb tshuaj ntsuam thiab tshuaj xyuas ntau dua 2,200 tus neeg thiab koom nrog ntau dua 14,000, thiab nws tsis ntshai raws li, nws muaj zog heev.

Dr Ashford tam sim no tau tsim lub khoos phis tawj ntsuas lub cim xeeb los tshuaj xyuas cov teeb meem nco, dementia, thiab Alzheimer's kab mob hu ua MemTrax. Cov cim xeeb xeem Nws yog qhov nthuav tiag tiag, nws koom nrog, nws nyuaj, thiab nws muaj peev xwm los tshuaj xyuas cov cim ntxov tshaj plaws ntawm Alzheimer's disease. Tsis tas li ntawd, nws yog pheej yig, thiab nws yog ib qho kev sim ua kom siv tau los ntawm txhua tus neeg.

Zoo siab txais tos Dr. Ashford hnub no koj nyob li cas?

Dr. Ashford:

Kuv nyob zoo, thiab kuv zoo siab heev li koj hais. Kuv sawv ntxov no rau kuv lub xov tooj cua kom hnov ​​​​tias Nobel nqi zog rau lub cev thiab tshuaj tau txais txiaj ntsig rau kev kawm ntawm lub hlwb. Ib yam uas lawv tau hais yog tias John O'Keefe los ntawm Tebchaws Askiv, nyob hauv ib qho ntawm ob pawg uas yeej nws. Qhov laj thawj kuv txaus siab rau qhov no yog tias kuv tau hais txog nws txoj haujlwm hauv kuv daim ntawv pov thawj PhD xyoo 1984, thiab tau cuam tshuam ntau heev los ntawm qhov no. Nws qhov khoom plig Nobel uas tau muab rau hnub no yog los piav txog cov hlwb hauv thaj tsam ntawm lub hlwb hu ua hippocampus, tib neeg tau tsis meej pem thaum koj siv lo lus hippocampus, nws txhais tau tias seahorse. Nws yog ib qho qauv me me hauv nruab nrab ntawm lub hlwb uas yog qhov tseem ceeb rau kev tsim cov cim tshiab.

Dr. O'Keefe muaj peev xwm saib cov hlwb hauv hlwb ntawm nas uas muaj hippocampus loj heev. Cov hlwb hauv cheeb tsam no ntawm lub hlwb, uas muaj hippocampus loj heev, cov hlwb ntawm lub hlwb muaj peev xwm code rau cov chaw tshwj xeeb yog li cov nas khiav nyob ib ncig ntawm ib qho kev tshawb nrhiav hauv ntau qhov chaw, cov hlwb sib txawv hauv hippocampus kawm qhov chaw tshwj xeeb. Yog li ntawd, hippocampus muaj kev koom tes nrog kev kawm cov ntaub ntawv tshiab, uas txhais tau tias nco. Hauv Alzheimer's tus kab mob, feem ntau yog kab mob ntawm lub cim xeeb tsim, ib qho ntawm cov cheeb tsam feem ntau raug mob los ntawm tus kab mob yog hippocampus, thiab pawg neeg Nobel nqi zog tau lees paub nws txoj haujlwm txij li xyoo 1960 thiab hais tias nws muaj feem cuam tshuam ncaj qha rau Alzheimer's disease. Tsis tas li ntawd xwb, kuv ntseeg nws, vim nws yog nws lub tswv yim tias muaj cov hlwb uas cuam tshuam txog kev kawm cov ntaub ntawv tshiab hauv hippocampus thiab hippocampus raug cuam tshuam los ntawm Alzheimer's tus kab mob uas ua rau kuv ua haujlwm kuv tau ua hauv kuv qhov kev tshaj tawm, xyoo 1985. los tawm tswv yim tias nws yog lub peev xwm ntawm lub hlwb los tsim cov kev nco tshiab uas tau tawm tsam tshwj xeeb los ntawm cov txheej txheem kab mob Alzheimer. Lub tswv yim no, hais tias Alzheimer's disease yog ib qho kev tawm tsam ntawm lub cim xeeb hauv lub hlwb, tau coj kuv mus rau ntau qhov chaw ntawm kuv txoj haujlwm kawm Alzheimer's disease thiab tuaj yeem coj peb tam sim no yog tias peb xav sim ib tus neeg kom pom tias lawv muaj qhov tshwj xeeb. teeb meem nco. Txhawm rau kuaj tus neeg mob Alzheimer's, koj yuav tsum ua nws hauv ib txoj hauv kev tshwj xeeb uas koj tuaj yeem muab cov ntaub ntawv rau lub hlwb thiab tom qab ntawd saib seb lub hlwb puas tuaj yeem nco tau cov ntaub ntawv. Qhov ntawd yog lub hauv paus ntsiab lus uas peb tau tsim MemTrax lub cim xeeb kuaj: www.MemTrax.com thiab nrog rau qhov kev sim no peb tuaj yeem pom tias ib tus neeg muaj cov tsos mob ntawm kev nco nyuaj uas muaj feem cuam tshuam txog ntau yam. Alzheimer's disease tsuas yog ib qho ua rau muaj teeb meem nco. MemTrax yog qhov nkag siab zoo rau ntau yam teeb meem nco, tab sis Alzheimer's kab mob yog qhov peb nyiam tshaj plaws.

Qhov ntawd yog txhua yam rau hnub no! Peb yuav txuas ntxiv xov tooj cua tham qhia kev sib tham lwm zaus ntawm no ntawm MemTrax blog. Peb xav muab tag nrho cov ntaub ntawv no hauv cov ntu me kom nws yooj yim dua rau kev noj thiab siv. Nyob twj ywm rau ntau cov ntaub ntawv zoo los ntawm peb tus kheej kev cuam tshuam nrog Alzheimer's hauv tsev neeg, cov lus qhia kev tshawb fawb, thiab txoj hauv kev los tiv thaiv thiab tiv thaiv kev tiv thaiv kev mob dementia.
