Eleanor Drummond, a neuroscientist specializing in Alzheimer's research, joins Olivier Piguet, a clinical neuropsychologist focused on dementia interventions, and Gilbert Nags, a sociology PhD candidate exploring social inequalities in healthy ageing. They dive into how current science can combat cognitive decline, the role of lifestyle factors in brain health, and the risks posed by pseudoscience. Their discussion also highlights the importance of mapping protein changes in Alzheimer's and the need for diverse research trials. The duo provides insight into community challenges in rural ageing and the significance of intergenerational support.
