NEURO SQUARE
“Finding a Breakthrough -Towards Overcoming Alzheimer's Disease” by Hiroki Sasaguri
NEURO SQUARE is a series of talks given by passionate researchers who are eager to share with you the findings and knowledge that they have gained through their studies.
In this talk, Sasaguri, both a medical doctor and a neuroscientist, discusses his research aimed at conquering the devastating Alzheimer’s disease.
Alzheimer's disease is the leading cause of dementia. Recently, a groundbreaking treatment called Lecanemab has been administered to patients. However, overcoming the disease is still a distant goal. In this talk, I will explore what is actually happening in the brains of Alzheimer's patients, why conquering the disease is so challenging, and the potential of new treatment strategies based on pivotal recent findings and various data on the condition.
