Professor Bryce Vissel, Head of the Clinical Neuroscience and Regenerative Medicine at St Vincent's, reveals how a "switch" in the brain might be the key to treating Alzheimer's in the future.
Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease that impairs memory and other mental functions. It's now the second most common cause of death in Australia - with over 500,000 Australians living with Dementia and 1.6 million carers looking after people with Dementia.
