The Alzheimer's Association is conducting this conference in
Chicago, running from July 25-31.

Some of the press releases concerning research reports can
be found here:

Some of the research that I found interesting included a study
of a new drug administered as a nasal spray aimed at reducing
neurofibrillary tangles - which actually showed benefit in
reducing mild cognitive impairment, a study showing that people
with diabetes had less Alzheimer's type brain damage if they
took medications for their diabetes, and a study showing less
brain damage in people who exercise a lot.

So get your blood sugar tested and, if you're diabetic, get
treatment.  And start using that treadmill or exercise bike
that you bought and is now gathering dust in the basement.
