The 51�Թ������ܿƴ� department of brain health has formally launched the Chambers-Grundy Center for Transformative Neuroscience, offering hope through scientific discovery for patients who are suffering from Alzheimer’s, dementia and other brain and neurological diseases.

The Pentagon disclosed on Friday that 34 U.S. service members suffered traumatic brain injuries in Iran’s missile strike this month on an Iraqi air base, and although half have returned to work, the casualty total belies President Donald Trump’s initial claim that no Americans were harmed.

Jefferson Kinney, the founding chairman of the 51�Թ������ܿƴ� Cellular and Molecular Brain Research Laboratory, said the lab was created, in part, to complement the brain health center’s work.

As new treatments are developed for traumatic brain injury and Alzheimer’s disease, a significant amount of credit could go to 51�Թ������ܿƴ�’s new Department of Brain Health.

Nearly fifty-thousand Nevadans are currently living with Alzheimer's, and that number is only expected to skyrocket over the next decade. On this Nevada Week, we'll explore how close local researchers are to a cure. Plus, what role do citizen scientists and caregivers play toward fighting this neurodegenerative disease?

At first, Maureen Kramer’s forgetfulness seemed like no big deal. She’d forget about plans made with her husband, Bill, and began relying on written directions to drive to familiar places.
