Take Steps to Postpone the Onset of Alzheimer’s

Dr. George Bartzokis, professor of psychiatry at the Semel Institute, was featured in the Nov. 26 St. Petersburg Times about his study showing that men's physical abilities begin to decline in middle age due to the loss of myelin — the fatty sheath that coats nerve axons and allows for fast signaling bursts in the brain. He also offered his advice for postponing the onset of Alzheimer’s disease.
