Debilitating Condition

It’s a scourge of our modern-day lifestyles and is becoming more prevalent.

There is someone you know, or you know someone who knows someone with dementia or Alzheimer’s. This has been my experience, and watching people decline mentally is sometimes, I think, worse than physical decline, although I don’t wish either on anyone.

There is vast research and encouraging signs of fighting this plague of humanity.

Alzheimer’s is the brain shrinking, particularly the cerebral cortex. The cerebral cortex is the outer layer of the cerebrum, and the cerebrum is the largest part of the brain. The cerebrum only excludes the lower part of the brain, the cerebellum. To better explain it. I want you to imagine a helmet on your head extending from the front of your skull down to your ears; that is the large area called the cerebrum.

Cerebral Cortex

They describe the cerebral cortex as similar to the bark of a tree, covering a tree trunk, but it covers the cerebrum.

The cerebral cortex is responsible for decision making and higher function cognitive abilities, reasoning, learning, and memory, so it’s a big deal when this becomes dysfunctional.
