We distil the new evidence to identify what is worth knowing

We monitor the top scientific and medical journals to identify new evidence from high quality research.We do this by reviewing the title pages of the key journals and identifying articles that are worth a more detailed look. Once a week we will produce an article of the week because there are probably not more than fifty-two good articles published a year and this will be accompanied by a simple podcast.

Research into the causes, preventability, diagnosis and treatment of dementia and alzehimer’s disease, is quite rightly, increasing rapidly as people appreciate both the magnitude of the challenge and the fact that it has been comparatively underfunded in past decades.
The research is published in a wide variety of journals, some of them not open to the public.  In Brainability we will keep an eye on the research literature on a systematic and regular basis.

If you can support research either by donating your data or money or donating your brain for use after you die, then do so. Research is a social activity which needs people involved and not just the experts.
