More than 500,000 Canadians live with dementia -- an overall term for a set of symptoms caused by disorders affecting the brain such as Alzheimer’s disease. There is currently no cure or treatments that can reverse dementia however, through research, St. Joseph’s Lawson scientists, led by Dr. Michael Borrie, Medical Director for St. Joseph’s Aging Brain and Memory Clinic, a key member of the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration and Aging (CCNA) and Program Director of the South Western Ontario Regional Geriatric Program, are completing clinical trials on medications and treatments that can slow and sometimes stop the progression of the disease.
