#RFK has more catastrophes in store: "#Medicaid currently covers over 60% of all nursing home residents. In 2024 alone, Medicaid & #Medicare together spent $231 billion caring for those living w/#Alzheimer’s & related #dementias — accounting for 64% of total dementia care costs. This [is] memory care units. It’s in-home support services. It’s home health aides helping someone bathe w/dignity. It’s respite care giving exhausted family #caregivers one day to breathe."

"Neurologists say the downsizing at CARD [Center for #Alzheimer's and Related #Dementias] could be a blow to the scientific quest for new Alzheimer's treatments. NIH scientists at CARD work with external scientists to turn early scientific discoveries into treatments and medicines."

Study participants born in the 1970s had 6.6% larger #brain volumes and almost 15% larger brain surface area than those born in the 1930s. The researchers hypothesize the increased brain size may lead to an increased brain reserve, potentially reducing the overall risk of age-related #dementias.

Human brains are getting larger. That may be good news for dementia risk

A new study finds brain size has steadily increased for people born after the 1930s
