Hi All,
 
I came across this lecture given by Neuropsychologist Dr Janice Funk director of the Whittier Memory Clinic in Haverhill MA. She is giving a lecture at Boston University Social workers this past April. It is quite informative and interesting about Alzheimer's. I have to say I am a little bias because we took FIL to see her for his Diagnosis and she was fantastic with him and even though she discussed some of the things in the video with us, I learned a lot more. It does ring true about early treatment as FIL sister was Diagnosed with Alzheimer's but didn't take her Aricept regular and she has surpassed him in her memory decline ten fold and is getting nasty.
 
The lecture is three parts, Alzheimer's is the first part, the second part is the neurobiology of Love and then the last part is about depression. I only watched the first part, can't vouch about the second and third parts. Hope you all find it as informative as I have.
