Tue, 30 January 2007  As promised, we're starting off this series with a recording of a public lecture by
Dr. Paul Fraser, Principal Investigator, Centre for Research in
Neurodegenerative Diseases (CRND), University of Toronto. Dr. Fraser's talk was titled "Alzheimer's Disease On the Road to Recovery" and was, as billed, translated into Vietnamese, Arabic, Mandarin, Somali and French. He gave a wonderful United Nations of an audience an introduction to the causes of dementia, our understanding of the mechanisms of dementia and most optimistically, the hopes for treatment including a new wave of vaccines that could stave off the mind and memory destroying amyloid proteins that are the main culprits in dementia. And, now, here's that talk, delivered to you via the miracle of podcasting. Hope you enjoy it. Look for the next episode of Common Loss coming in about a month. Dr. Paul Fraser was recorded January 30 at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington, Ontario. He was introduced by CH Television's Connie Smith. You can find more photos of the evening here. Running time: 1 hour, 21 minutes / 93 Mb Host: Wayne MacPhail
