Why We Like This Video:

Alzheimer’s disease is a debilitating condition that starts at the cellular level. While it is most known for the cognitive changes that occur as the disease progresses, many people still do not fully understand what exactly Alzheimer’s disease looks like in the brain. In this 4 minute video, you can learn about the neurobiology behind Alzheimer’s disease and help your client understand what is happening and what some intervention options are.
