The Brain Bus raises awareness of Alzheimer's and related dementias and addresses the benefits of early detection, early diagnosis, brain health and risk reduction. With two mobile units and virtual offerings, the Brain Bus is able to travel throughout Florida.

Significant progress has been made in understanding

Alzheimer's and dementia, leading to improved

prevention, detection, diagnostics, and treatments.

Quality sleep is crucial for memory consolidation,

while poor sleep increases the risk of cognitive

decline, making it a modifiable risk factor for brain

health.

Scientists are studying how sleep enhances memory

and cognition, focusing on which memory aspects

benefit and the brain activity patterns involved. The

talk will explore how sleep not only stores memories

but also helps the brain connect them, extract

meaning, and transform daily experiences into

lasting knowledge.

Join us to learn about:

The landscape of Alzheimer’s and dementia science.

Risk factors for Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

Why memory isn’t just about remembering.
