BrightFocus, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the Netherlands Ministry of Health, Welfare & Sport recently held a reception to spark international collaborations to advance Alzheimer’s disease research.

Thank you to everyone who attended, and helped make this event a success.

BrightFocus Alzheimer's Disease Research grantee, Jessica Wu, PhD, discovers that tau, a toxic Alzheimer's protein, spreads through the brain via extracellular space and that neural activity accelerates its spread.

Dementia can interfere with many of the brain's mental processes, including spatial memory — the part of the brain that deals with navigation. This is why many people living with dementia may sometimes find it hard to get around, even in familiar places.

A special #MondayMotivation for compassionate caregivers.

BrightFocus Foundation joins the nation in mourning the death of Pat Summitt, the winningest college basketball coach of all time. Off the court, she displayed great courage and leadership through her 2011 announcement of her Alzheimer’s disease, a brave act to help bring Alzheimer’s out of the shadows.

Summitt once said, “Individual success is a myth. No one succeeds all by herself.” This holds true for our global fight against Alzheimer’s.

To succeed in slowing, treating, and curing Alzheimer’s, we must work together. Together, we must do more to support scientific research and to offer support for all impacted by the disease. Through these collective actions, we can honor Pat Summitt and millions more who share her diagnosis.
