www.alzheimers.org.uk This film gives a overview of the structure and function of brain cells, and what happens to them when the brain is affected by dementia. TRANSCRIPT “The brain is made up of millions of nerve cells. Nerve cells are specially designed for their function. They are elongated with many tentacle-like projections, called dendrites, that allow them to make contact with the cells around them. The dendrites form many connections, creating an intricate network between the cells. The point where two cells meet is called a synapse. Messages are passed along and between cells through tiny electrical impulses and chemical messengers. This is the basis for how the brain works. This is how the brain coordinates our movements, our thoughts and our memories. If something stops the cells from doing their job, this can result in dementia. Nerve cells are like any other cells in the body — they need oxygen and nutrients to stay alive. They also rely on close contact with neighbouring cells. If a nerve cell is starved of oxygen or nutrients, or becomes isolated from its neighbours it will die.” Please watch our other videos to see how brain cells function, hear what dementia is, and to hear more about Alzheimer’s disease, Posterior Cortical Atrophy, vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, fronto-temporal dementia and other rarer causes of dementia.

www.alzheimers.org.uk This film looks at vascular dementia, the second most common form of dementia, and the connection between a healthy blood supply and dementia. TRANSCRIPT “Vascular dementia is the second most common type of dementia, although it can also occur in combination with Alzheimer’s disease, in a condition called mixed dementia. Vascular dementia is associated with problems in the blood supply to the brain. Interruption of the blood supply, for example by a blockage or a leak, can cause a stroke. A stroke can cause significant damage to the area of the brain that was starved of its blood supply. Sometimes a single stroke is enough to cause symptoms of dementia. In other cases, a person may experience a series of smaller strokes that gradually cause more damage. Vascular dementia can also be caused by small vessel disease which is due to damage to the tiny blood vessels deep in the brain. Since vascular dementia is closely linked to a healthy blood supply, scientists think that lifestyle factors such as regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight could help to reduce the risk of this form of dementia.” Please watch our other videos to see how brain cells function, hear what dementia is, and to hear more about Alzheimer’s disease, Posterior Cortical Atrophy, vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, fronto-temporal dementia and other rarer causes of dementia.
