REVIEW:
This site would not only be useful for caregivers and family members of those with Alzheimer's disease but for students and teachers as well. There are a total of sixteen slides. The first seven give some background information on what the brain is composed of and how the brain works, including a map of the regions of the cortex showing areas that control certain functions such as the interpretation of sights, sounds and smells, generating thoughts, storing memories, and controlling voluntary movement. The remainder of the slides shows how the brain progresses through the stages of Alzheimer's. Included is a list of links (upper right corner) for related information. |
