Top Episodes Quotes
- “So we know that when people develop problems with their memory and go to see their doctor and get a diagnosis of dementia, their brain has been changing for ten to 20 years by that time. And at the moment, we tend to rely on either seeing that somebody's not doing very well on memory tests or showing that their brain has shrunk on a brain scan to help us make the diagnosis. But before those things are evident, the way that the different regions of the brain talk to each other starts to be affected by the loss of brain cells in dementia. And that's what we were able to show in this study.“ by Professor Charles Marshall
- “Having fully participated in all the british events with british veterans, I returned home before the international leaders event. That was a mistake and I apologise for that. But I will always be proud of our record in supporting veterans.“ by Rishi Sunak
