Unlocking the mysteries of the mind
1 June 2012
Like cancer and HIV decades before, the solution to stopping dementia in its tracks has remained stubbornly intransigent. But there is hope.
The race to find a cure for dementia has never been more critical: within ten years there will be around one million people in the UK with this devastating condition – many of whom will spend their last few years severely impaired and dependent on others for care.
The NHNN and UCL Institute of Neurology are at the research epicentre and have recently been awarded grants totaling over £30 million.
