We base all our work on research findings, and our experience

​ 
OUR PROGRAMME AND OUR BOOK IS BASED ON HIGH QUALITY RESEARCH EVIDENCE 
 
Research into the causes, preventability, diagnosis and treatment of dementia and alzehimer’s disease, is quite rightly, increasing rapidly as people appreciate both the magnitude of the challenge and the fact that it has been comparatively underfunded in past decades.
The research is published in a wide variety of journals, some of them not open to the public.  In Brainability we will keep an eye on the research literature on a systematic and regular basis.  

The most important source is the Lancet Commission on dementia which published an update in 2020 (Lancet 396 : 413-436). 

If you can support research either by donating your data or money or donating your brain for use after you die, then do so. Research is a social activity which needs people involved and not just the experts.
