麻豆AV

The Neuro Film Series season finale will take place on Thursday, May 24 at 6:30 pm.聽 Iris is a 2001 biographical film that tells the story of British novelist Iris Murdoch and her relationship with John Bayley. The film starkly shows the contrast between the start of their relationship, when Murdoch was an outgoing, dominant individual as compared to her timid and scholarly partner Bayley, to their later life, when Iris begins experiencing forgetfulness and dementia and is in fact suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Her devoted husband struggles with hopelessness and frustration to become her caretaker, as his wife's mind deteriorates from the ravages of Alzheimer's disease. Our Neuro host, Dr. Edith Hamel will discuss the film and current Alzheimer research and treatment.

Dr. Edith Hamel is a neuroscientist at the Montreal Neurological Institute of 麻豆AV.聽 Edith Hamel is internationally renowned for her innovative work in neuroscience which focuses on the regulation of cerebral circulation. The goal of Dr. Hamel鈥檚 work is to understand how nerve cells control regional blood flow in the brain and how this relationship is altered in pathological states like Alzheimer's disease and migraine headache. Through understanding of the mechanisms involved, her research could help in the development of new drugs aimed at preserving a normal blood supply to the brain or decreasing vascular head pain.
