It is devastating to have your computer drive crash. The computer's memory is lost.
Imagine how devastating it is, if the computer drive that crashed is your brain.
It is happening to 5.4 million Americans who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Today, every 69 seconds, someone new develops the mind-robbing disease. Costs associated with caring for Alzheimer's patients are estimated to be 1.1 trillion dollars!
Alzheimer's disease is striking Baby Boomers as 10,000 of them turn 65 each day and enter the age of increased risk for developing the disease. Research is our only hope. You are invited to help. UCI MIND urgently needs a massive increase in funding for research now.
Scientists, research labs and scientific equipment are costly, but vital, investments in finding the answers we need today. At this time of shrinking budgets, government-funded research cannot provide all of the answers. The gap can only be filled by members of the community as private donors at all levels join as part of the solution.
Researchers at UCI MIND, led by Director, Frank LaFerla, Ph.D., are committed to finding answers about Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological disorders that affect memory and the brain. Through cutting-edge research at this world-class research facility, scientists and clinicians focus on finding a cure and bringing solutions to people and families suffering from dementia.
UCI MIND is Orange County's only federal and state-designated Alzheimer's Disease research and clinical center.
Few illnesses disrupt the quality of life and are as costly to society as dementia. There is hope. UCI MIND is researching ways to make memories last a lifetime.
You can help by participating in the Time of Your Life, an event that will take you back to experience an evening of fun memories from the 1960's. It was a period when the newest Baby Boomers of today were teens and young adults and had no idea that they would be entering the age of increasing risk for developing Alzheimer's.
UCI MIND is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization, Tax ID# 95-2226406

September 21. 2011- Frontiers of the MIND focusing on Traumatic Brain Injury
Featuring Ann McKee, M.D. , Boston University
Dr. McKee’s research interests center on the neuropathological alterations of neurodegenerative diseases, with a primary focus on the role of tau protein, axonal injury, trauma, vascular injury, and neurodegeneration. Much of her current work centers on the long-term consequences of repetitive head injury from contact sports and military service.
As a board-certified neurologist and neuropathologist, she is particularly interested in the clinical, behavioral and psychological manifestations of pathological disease and the neuroanatomical localization of clinical symptoms. She has written widely on many neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy Body disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, Multiple System Atrophy, Frontotemporal Degeneration, Corticobasal Degeneration and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). She has been an invited participant in several NIH-sponsored workshops on Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, Vascular Dementia and Traumatic Brain Injury. Dr. McKee has unparalleled experience in the neuropathology of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy and recently won the Moore Award Honorable Mention for her paper entitled “Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy of Football Players” at the annual meeting of the American Association of Neuropathologists. Her work has been essential in establishing the neuropathological diagnostic criteria for CTE and for microvascular CNS injury. She is also keenly interested in the neuropathology of normal aging and disorders of the spinal cord.
