Millions of aging people are afraid of losing their most precious possessiontheir memory. They are desperate for anything that will help them to regain it. Now, for the first time, The Memory Cure shares the absolute latest that science has to offer in the form of a protection plan. Dr. Majid Fotuhi, one of the world's foremost experts in the field of Alzheimer's Disease and brain function, outlines an exciting and highly effective plan that targets each of the 13 risk factors contributing to the development of memory loss.
Dr. Fotuhi received his M.D. degree (cum laude) from the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology at Harvard Medical School in Boston and his doctoral Ph.D. degree in Neuroscience from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore. He heads the Memory Disorders Unit at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore. He also has the unique distinction of being both a faculty member in neurology at Harvard Medical School and an assistant professor of neurology at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He has been an active member of the American Academy of Neurology, American Medical Association, International Brain Research Organization, Massachusetts Medical Society, and Society for Neuroscience.
His clinical research at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions focuses on finding effective ways to prevent memory loss and Alzheimer's disease. More specifically, he is working on longitudinal studies to determine if the combination of vitamin E and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Advil has the potential to delay the onset of memory loss in individuals at high risk for Alzheimer's disease. His earlier research was on the basic biochemistry of communication among brain cells, and his results have contributed a great deal to the development of new drugs aimed at treating stroke and Alzheimer's disease. He has published his research findings in prestigious international science journals such as Brain Research, Journal of Neuroscience, The Lancet, Nature, Neuron, and Proceedings of National Academy of Science. His articles have been cited by thousands of scientists around the world.
In addition to conducting cutting-edge research with critical implications for preventing Alzheimer's, Dr. Fotuhi has dedicated a great deal of his time to educating the public about memory and aging. He has been the keynote speaker for a dozen Alzheimer's Association conferences around the country. He has written a book called The Memory Cure: How to Protect Your Brain Against Memory Loss and Alzheimer's Disease. Citing compelling evidence and real-life profiles, he guides his readers through the maze of conflicting reports and emerges with the clear and concise information about how to prevent dementia. The Boston Globe, The BusinessWeek, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Montreal Gazette, and The Times (London) as well as 50 TV and radio stations in Canada and United States have interviewed him regarding his book and his outstanding research and teaching achievements.
Dr. Fotuhi has taken a leadership role in medical education as well. He has received numerous awards and recognition for his innovative and dynamic teaching style. He is one of the most popular instructors at Harvard Medical School where he designed and helped to build two 5-foot-tall brain models for his students in neuroanatomy classes. He won the distinguished teaching award from the American Academy of Neurology in 2001. He has also given academic lectures as the honorary keynote speaker internationally, in Canada and China.
