261 - Clinical Assessment in Alzheimer's Disease Part 2: December 2021

This episode of AMiNDR is part 2 of our Clinical Assessment series. Today, you'll hear about new cognitive tests and advancements in existing tools for clinical testing. With every new study on Alzheimer’s disease, we are one step closer to understanding this disease better, diagnosing people faster, and helping people more effectively. Get ready to hear about some of the latest ways that scientists and clinicians are getting us closer to these goals!

Our team of volunteers works tirelessly each month to bring you every episode of AMiNDR. This episode was scripted, hosted and edited by Ellen Koch, and reviewed by Christy Yu and Anusha Kamesh. The bibliography was made by Lara Onbasi and the wordcloud was created by Sarah Louadi (www.wordart.com). 

Big thanks to the sorting team for taking on the enormous task of sorting all of the Alzheimer’s Disease papers into episodes each month. For December 2021, the sorters were Jacques Ferreira, Christy Yu, Kate Van Pelt, Kira Tosefsky, Dana Clausen, Eden Dubchak, Ben Cornish, Ellen Koch, and Elyn Rowe.

Also, props to our management team, which includes Sarah Louadi, Ellen Koch, Naila Kuhlmann, Elyn Rowe, Anusha Kamesh, Jacques Ferreira for keeping everything running smoothly.
