    What’s the difference between Alzheimer’s disease and dementia?

    Welcome to the second episode of Between the Signals, a podcast brought to you by the UK Dementia Research Institute at King’s College London. In this episode, we explore what neurodegeneration and dementia are and discuss the similarities and differences between Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s and motor neuron disease.   Join Dr Asma Bashir and Dr Sarah Mizielinska as they speak with Dr Sarah Marzi, whose research focuses how environmental factors contribute the development of conditions such as Parkinson’s. Hear more on the latest cutting-edge research happening at the UK DRI, from understanding how molecules move around cells to developing new gene therapies.   Whether you're living with one of these conditions, a carer, researcher, or simply curious about neuroscience, this conversation provides insights into these complex conditions and hope for new treatments on the horizon.   For more detailed information about any of the conditions mentioned, visit:  Alzheimer’s disease: https://www.ukdri.ac.uk/conditions/alzheimers-disease  Parkinson’s: https://www.ukdri.ac.uk/conditions/parkinsons-disease  Frontotemporal dementia: https://www.ukdri.ac.uk/conditions/frontotemporal-dementia  Motor neuron disease: https://www.ukdri.ac.uk/conditions/mo...    Learn more:   📚 UK DRI website: www.ukdri.ac.uk   🔬 UK DRI at King's: https://www.ukdri.ac.uk/centres/kings...   📧 Newsletter: tinyurl.com/ukdri-newsletter   For more information, visit: Healthy brain ageing for all | UK DRI Find us on: X, bsky, LinkedIn and YouTube

    What is Motor Neuron Disease?

    Listen to the UK DRI’s new podcast Between the Signals. In the first episode called "What is Motor Neuron Disease?” Dr Asma Bashir and Dr Sarah Marzi speak with expert Dr Sarah Mizielinska to understand more about Motor Neuron Disease (MND).   Scientists at UK DRI at King’s are working toward a better understanding of the condition and the development of much-needed, effective treatments.  For more information, visit: Motor neuron disease/ALS | UK DRI Disclaimer: Actor Bruce Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in 2023. FTD is a neurodegenerative condition that affects the frontotemporal lobe of the brain and it is believed to be part of a disease spectrum with ALS/MND.
