Coronado Roundtable’s October Meeting Announcement
All of us have experienced forgetfulness at one level or another…we forgot our keys, we forgot to lock the door, we forgot where we were going. From the time we were kids, Mom or Dad would remind us to “not forget”. Now, we wonder if our forgetfulness is normal or….is it dementia or the early signs of Alzheimer’s. We are privileged to have the premier research center for Alzheimer’s just up the road at UCSD, and one of its key staff members, Michelle Herman will present a program on “Myths and Mysteries Surrounding Memory and Aging”. Michelle is a Study Coordinator for UCSD Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Studies group. Roundtable members will gather at the Winn Room of the Coronado Library on Friday, October 28th at 10 am to learn of the latest research and conclusions thereof about memory and aging.
The Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study (ADCS) was formed in 1991 as a cooperative agreement between the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and the University of California, San Diego. The ADCS is a major initiative for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) clinical studies in the Federal government, addressing treatments for both cognitive and behavioral symptoms. This is part of the NIA Division of Neuroscience’s effort to facilitate the discovery, development and testing of new drugs for the treatment of AD and also is part of the Alzheimer’s Disease Prevention Initiative.
The Coronado Roundtable presents prominent speakers on a variety of topics at its monthly meetings on the fourth Friday of each month at 10 am in the Winn Room of the Coronado Public Library. Come 15 minutes early and enjoy a cup of coffee with your neighbors. The meeting is open to the public.
