Scientists say research into Alzheimer's needs to take a broader view of how the disease affects the brain — whether that's changes in the cortex or the role of inflammation.

We hear about a San Diego County program addressing the emergency needs of people suffering from Alzheimer’s and dementia. Also, we hear how to recognize the symptoms of Alzheimer’s and support loved ones suffering from the disease.

Guests:

Elisa Barnett, community engagement manager for the San Diego/Imperial County Alzheimer’s Association

Sarina Barker, Director of Clinical Services for Alzheimer’s San Diego
